My List of Top Ten Period Dramas

When I write too often, my brain slowly stops working, so every once in a while, I take a little downtime by watching my favorite period dramas. So, here, for your reading (or should I say, "viewing"?) pleasure, is my top ten list. 

​10. Downton Abbey - I used to love this show, and it would have made higher on my list, had (spoiler alert!) the main characters not left the show. Such a bummer.

​9. Jane Eyre - I love all of the movie adaptations, but the one with Michael Fassbender is one of my favorites. It's told in such a unique way. 

​
​8. Ever After - This is a period drama...isn't it? I watched this movie so often as a kid, and it's still just as sweet and romantic now!

​7. The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society - I'd be lying if I said I didn't have to look up that title to make sure I got it right. This is one of my new favorites!

​6. Persuasion - I love this version. Sally Hawkins plays it so well, and Rupert Penry-Jones is my favorite Captain Wentworth.

​5. Pride & Prejudice - I may ruffle some feathers with this one, but as the Kiera Knightley one was my first adaptation I saw, I tend to favor this one above the others. 

​4. Emma - I LOVE this one. The characters are all spot on, and it's so fun to watch. I feel like it captures the humor of the book perfectly!

​3. Anne of Green Gables - Oh, Anne. Oh, Gil. Their love. I can't even stand it. Is it weird that I aspire to be like her?

​2. North & South - I don't know ANYONE who doesn't love that kiss scene at the end. Richard Armitage is perfection in this drama. Oh, and I guess whoever plays Margaret, too, or something...

​1. Poldark - Did you even question that this would be my number one favorite period drama? I thought not. There is nothing better than Season 1, in my opinion! 

Another list of top ten favorites done. What are some of your favorite period dramas?
