I STANDDDDD by North and South, all the Pride and Prejudices, Bridgerton and Belle(this one caught me by surpriseee, so good😮‍💨) I watched Poldark all the way to season 4 and in the beginning I LOVED it - Ross and Demelza😮‍💨🤌🏾but the minute Ross cheated it made me MAD then Demelza cheated and as much as I wanted to continue loving them I lost the “swoon” for them cause I just can’t get behind cheaters.

[@estrick4854]

I feel the need to recommend BBC Pride and Prejudice with Colin Firth. So well done and the length of the miniseries allows you to stay in their world a little longer!

[@tashapolis]

Yes! I mention this one in my Austen breakdown!

[@TriciaRP]

@@tashapolis me too but Jesus is coming.......WE ARE IN THE DAYS OF NOAH and humanity is in trouble. Are you single? We shouldn't be watching this and God is not happy with Us.

[@erinmariecece]

I made my parents watch Sanditon with me last year, and they've been waiting for me to come back home so we can watch season 2. Sad Theo James isn't back though, even if he wasn't going to be the love interest anymore, I WANTED THAT TENSION.

[@mystery1317]

North & South is so great, I absolutely lost it with the main couple but it’s also great because it’s a coming of age story for the main girl and has some nice social commentary/dynamics!

[@LaurenceRoberge]

I also love The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society and all adaptations of Anne of Green Gables 😍

[@giorgiadifeo23]

Jamie and Claire’s wedding is probably one of the best scenes I have ever watched in any movie/series

[@forevrrich]

Just watched Howards End (2018). It's only 1 season of 4 episodes. The plot is somewhat thin and the drama just wasn't quite there but, Matthew McFadyen (P&P 2005) and Haley Atwell are both excellent. Atwell's performance is strong and quite impressive. It had great potential, did feel a bit rushed, rehashed story elements. Beautifully filmed. Really needed a full season or second season to find its own legs.

[@gracie9658]

I'm obsessed with Period Dramas they're one the only genre my brain can actually focus on without being bored. And yes P&P 2005 my absolute fave too and a visual masterpiece even if it's not accurate to the book/the time period. I used to be obsessed with Poldark but I never finished it because it wasn't available anymore, a shame, I was so invested in the doctor's storyline.

[@lionrugissant]

yessss Dwight and Caroline>>>

[@mukundkanodia8817]

Pride and prejudice Downtown Abbey(First 2) Sense and sensibility Emma SANDITON JANE EYRE Outlander(only1) North & South Poldark Belle Geisha Dickinson Victoria(only 1) Young Victoria Gigi Gilded Age Enola Homes

[@kimberlyjao2399]

I think I was born in a different era..so inlove with period dramas..my 1st is Pride and Prejudice, 2nd Sense and Sensibility, 3rd Far from the Madding Crowd..highly recommend the 3rd, 4th Persuasion 2007, 5th Young Victoria and not in order Belle, Emma, Jane Eyre, Little Women, North and South (series), Anna Karenina, The other Boleyn Girl, Memoirs of Geisha ❤

[@sweetnsour80]

YOU ARE AN ANGEL. I was just thinking about where to find my next period drama but having no idea where to begin. perfect timing 🥰

[@meucanalsl]

Mr. Colbourne > Sidney 🤓 I thought season 1 was ok but season 2 won my heart and now Sanditon is one of my favorite period dramas 🥰

[@tashapolis]

I filmed this before the finale and I TOTALLY AGREE

[@jennyharmony1371]

Same!

[@teensymom1420]

OMG...someone who loves North and South as well as Memoirs of a Geisha! Can't believe it

[@hilarys3405]

Miss Scarlet and the Duke! She is a private detective, he is a bit gruff/rude but just wants her safe. Slow burn (hasn’t paid off yet), but they are making season two.

[@Kaylaroo5295]

Loved this list! Not sure if you’ve seen Bright Star, but it’s another one of my faves. About John Keats. So swoon worthy.

[@Whitney2022]

Thank you SO much for mentioning Belle! It's literally one of my favorite movies but I never see anyone mention it in their period drama rankings.

[@JayGTheAwkwardBookworm]

My TBW list just got longer

[@fennecfox9490]

My absolute favourite mini series Period Drama is Wives and Daughters. It's got such strong female characters and wonderful female relationships. And it's so sweet and romantic, and cosy. And there's a bit of intrigue as well. I will always adore it. 100% recommend. But fave film? Sense and Sensibility 1996.

[@TwilighterForever7]

Have you seen Becoming Jane? Biopic about Jane Austen. Anne Hathaway and James McAvoy. Absolutely beautiful movie and lots of swoon-worthy moments!

[@StarsAndEmbers]

Definitely coming back to this list!

[@danielledinh9032]

I love Persuasion. It’s about second chance love. There’s a new adaptation coming out this year.

[@blacknoisyblue]

and the adaptation was shit 😂

[@allypotter4404]

I recently watched the film In Secret (2014) starring Elizabeth Olsen, Oscar Isaac, and Tom Felton. The first half of the film is definitely swoon-worthy and steamy, though be warned the second half does get quite sad. I highly recommend watching it, though.

[@tree_hugger6921]

You should try miss scarlet and the duke. It's so good!

[@theskincareskinny5006]

The Keira Knightly Pride & Prejudice is soooo underrated!!!

[@orph11c]

I feel like I could listen to you talk about this stuff for aaaaages, like I almost wish this could've been a whole hour-long deep-dive where you talk more in-depth about all the shows/movies you mentioned!!! Please know that we would all Lap. That. Sh*t. UP 😍😍😍 Thank you for all your great recommendations. I love that you mentioned a handful of shows/movies that weren't really on my radar before (must check out Belle, Gigi and Sanditon, omg!). It was lovely to see you pop up on my feed again. You seem so fresh and inspired and happy ever since you came back and I'm excited for all your future content endeavours!

[@chesneydegraff2034]

Please tell me you've seen Little Dorrit. It's a Dickens adaptation and is sooo good. Not always swoon worthy but the ending is so romantic and adorable and lovely.

[@kritijain1340]

The Spanish princess and the empress are also amazing period drama

[@emlaur3000]

When you posted something like this on insta a while back I found and watched Sanditon!!! It was so good thanks for that! ❤️❤️

[@emlaur3000]

And now I got some new recs!! Thank you ❤️❤️

[@coachave87x]

Have you seen the 2006 version of Jane Eyre? It is the absolute best. Like I need you to watch it, it's amazing. If you like swooning this is the most swoon worthy.

[@filippalockwood6136]

100% best adaptation of Jane Eyre!

[@nikagrimm7197]

I was looking for someone to mention it! I love it so much 💔😭💔

[@blainevanity6]

0:09 YES! I've been in a period drama bubble after S2 of Bridgerton. I watched Pride & Prejudice (1995), Sanditon S1, Emma (2009), and Gentleman Jack. I'm currently watching Poldark.

[@nola3963]

You’re the first one I saw recommending the 2009 adaptation of Emma! I absolutely LOVED IT!!! I recommend it over the new movie every time to everyone!!!

[@blainevanity6]

@@nola3963 Emma (2020) is personally my favorite Emma adaptation 😅😅😅

[@kimberlyjao2399]

Also Keira Knightley is the period drama princess ❤ I really like her..all her period dramas are so amazing..

[@ceciliacrasto4602]

THANK YOU! Belle is phenomenal! Its one of my favourite films. Especially since the subject hits close to home, and its a true story!

[@gabiduncan18]

I'm really excited for the third season because it's gonna be about Colin and Penelope plus it'll be nice to see a curvy queen be the love interest 😎🤌🔥

[@daluladesigns8366]

I was so sad when Sydney left but after I watched Claybourne and Mrs.Hayworth, Sanditon is one of my favorites!!! I enjoy it too because I personally don’t like very sex oriented scenes (especially with my kids). I really wish they would make more period dramas that are family friendly, very romantic, and happy endings!!!

[@nellyd9280]

" I love you my Looooo'd"😅

[@kellireadsalot]

Love Poldark and North and South. A lot of people wrongly assume that North and South is about the U.S. Civil War.

[@aspiringauthorerinrail2890]

I love Downton! My mom started watching The Gilded Age and told me to watch it as well, and I love it! Fun Fact: They are so much alike is because they're both created by the same man, Julian Fellows. I just love him, he creates fantastic characters. And seriously though, Sanditon isn't the same without Theo!

[@zahraz2443]

Check out Belgravia if you haven't, it's good.

[@louiZiana-Gurl]

OMG yes! P&P & S&S my top two I know all the words to every scene I have watched them over and over for years my friends & family just don’t get it ❤❤

[@KateMcIrving]

2007 Persuasion is tied with 2005 P&P for my favorite movie. You can feel how how in love Anne and Frederick are but they each are holding back and you can feel that ache they have toward each other and when they finally are ready to tell each other how they feel😍 my heart just swells. I hated the 2020 Emma. It was incredibly boring and honestly not a fan of Anna Taylor joy. But I loved the 2009 mini series

[@jayneyjayne9076]

A really funny quirky adaptation of pride and prejudice on the BBC you will love called lost in austen , stars gemma Arterton and jemima rooper , if you haven't watched it I highly recommend it

[@Ginger_Cat2604]

I'd love to see film adaptations of my favorite Georgette Heyer's Regency romances. There are a lot of amazing stories - "Sprig Muslim", "Convenient Marriage", "Cotillion", "Black Sheep", "April's Lady", "The Toll Gate", "The Grand Sophie" are just some of them.

[@nola3963]

Emma’s mini series in my favorite adaptation!!! I hate the 2020 movie 😭

[@amandaalmeida398]

AH! I have watched all of these. Hollywood get on it!

[@tashapolis]

They have a new Persuasion coming to Netflix very soon!

[@amandaalmeida398]

@@tashapolis AMAZING!

[@erinmarie6489]

I can’t wait to see what you think about the new Persuasion on Netflix.

[@amyjogreen]

Far from the Madding Crowd - Becoming Jane - The Guernsy Literary and Potato Pie Society

[@yessica5231]

i love period dramas so much and i even got my sister into victoria but we're still waiting on season 4!!! also have you seen the great?

[@monicadacosta5545]

My absolute favorite is Pride and Prejudice with Kiera Knightley. I have been obsessed with this version of Pride and Prejudice. So much so, that my son recognizes the movie the minute here here's the first few tunes of the opening scene play. My favorite moment is the minute Mr. Darcy notices Elizabeth at the first dance he shows up to. And the moment he declares his feelings and asks for her hand. But really, the ultimate moment I melted was when he was walking through the field as the sun is rising and he he tells Elizabeth that she has bewitched him heart and soul. And that he loves her and that he wishes to never part from her from that day on. Boy do I wish men now a days, spoke like that.

[@oleander7635]

I recommend The Handmaiden and Portrait of a Lady on Fire

[@complikaty9740]

Did you ever give Persuasion a second chance?

[@Eniola__Oladejo]

Love this video and you look stunning as usual

[@gab910]

THANK U SO MUCH 💓💗

[@Linauhh4]

The reign !!

[@manoeksbooknook]

One of the absolute most swoonworthy period dramas is Gentleman Jack and I'm needing everyone to watch it !!!!! The second season is finally airing after 3 years of waiting on BBC and HBO Max. you follow Anne Lister who's known "as the first known lesbian" because she wrote very detailed diaries in code that were found later and decoded where they found lots about her life and lots about her having romantic and sexual relationships with women. And in particular with one woman, Ann Walker. Their romance is just so incredibly beautiful and swoonworthy and empowering to watch these two brave women do everything for love against all prejudice and hatred especially in that time!! It's so well written,directed and acted by Suranne Jones and Sophie Rundle. It's romantic, dramatic and also really funny. It needs a lot more recognition and people watching it because we need a season 3 👏🏻👏🏻
