I am a
little bit of a history nerd to begin with - ever since Downton Abbey first
came about {seriously, why did that series have to end?} I have been a completely
obsessed with historical and time period shows. They have the ability to
transport you to another time and place and on occasion provide you with a
historical factoid {google of course to make sure it’s true}. Below are a few
of my favorite historical shows that I am currently crushing on.
Victoria// If you
have ever wonder where Queen Elizabeth gets her courage and forward thinking
from it probably has something to do with the fact that she is related to Queen
Victoria. I haven’t read up on Queen Victoria very much, but the show
definitely portrays her as a trailblazer of her time and someone who was
headstrong, didn’t back down, and had a vision.
The
Crown//The Crown
will only make you love Queen Elizabeth all the more. She looked adversity in
the eye and dragged England into a new age the best she could.
War and
Peace//War and
Peace is a wonderful rendition of Tolstoy’s epic novel, War and Peace. This
series brings to life all the wonderful characters and makes you appreciate the
literary work all the more.
The
Kennedys: After Camelot//Jackie
Kennedy is one of my all time favorite icons. I’ve actually read a lot about
her and love any show that has to do with her {minus Natalie Portman’s Jackie}.
It is amazing all the all the tragedies she had to over come and how she always
seemed to eventually come out the other side with dignity, grace, more wise,
and the ability to transform herself but also staying true to the person she
was at the core of it all.
There's something about historical shows that totally intrigue me! <3
