10 Period Romance Shows on Netflix to Stream in March
There is a certain appeal to period dramas, especially to the ones that feature romantic plots.
They're so beautiful and captivating, and you also can excuse a bit of naivety because the times were different back then and the courting rituals were certainly more subdued than modern ones. If you know what we're talking about, then these 10 shows on Netflix are for you.
Two main reasons for loving period romance dramas are simple: the costumes and the customs.
A huge chunk of the budget in these has been used to sufficiently reconstruct the feel of a certain era. And it's pretty hard even for the shows that take place just last century, say, in the 1960s, like 45 RPM.
The fashion was different, the transportation, the architecture, and the interior design — everything should properly immerse the viewer into the timeline of the story.
Add a sprinkle of period-appropriate romance on top of all that, a bit of a social commentary on the side, and you'll get something that works as perfect escapism material, even if you can draw some parallels with the problems that our generation faces right now. The allure of these shows is inescapable and inviting.
