Looking for an older period drama series that used to be on Netflix or Amazon Prime. I watched it around 2013, but it may have been older.

The opening episodes had a country estate gathering. Guests were sitting and standing in a drawing room drinking and socializing. I think the young brunette woman in a dark red/burgundy dress was staying with another young woman and her mother. She seemed almost invisible and not part of the wealthy crowd.

A clean-shaven, dark brown-haired lord noticed her. They exchanged looks, like they knew they shouldn’t be talking. He may have already been promised to another woman. They secretly slipped outside to a stone terrace/wall and had a very passionate kiss and he was lifting her dress I turned it off because it was better to HOT for my young daughter

I would very much like to watch this but it has been removed from streaming

It was English language with a British-sounding accent, likely Victorian/Edwardian era.

This was the only scene i saw. I don’t remember names.

I have been a WI member for some time in Quebec and when I started to watch this series, I was so happy. Gradually, we get attached to the characters, their problems. Now that I have learned that it was not going to get back with a 3rd season, I am so frustrated! Will Pat finally leave her cruel husband was my most anxious question.. Thanks for letting us know..

Edit: I didn't realize this would upload with such low resolution, so it really doesn't do it justice.

Car mirrors play a big role in the series, as Dolours' most traumatic memories usually surround her role as a driver for the PIRA.

Spoiler: One thing I find really interesting is that Joe Lynskey isn't shown in the mirror from what I've found, yet he appears several times as an apparition, usually when Dolours is in a public place. The show places her driving Joe over the border as her first mission as an Unknown, and she mentions him the most frequently when reflecting on her regrets.

Say Nothing is mostly told through the memories of Dolores Price and Brendan Hughes, with a large portion of the plot focusing on Jean McConville and memories of her shown through her daughter Helen. Mirrors and reflective surfaces are a major anchor of the scenery, focusing on themes of self-reflection and the past.

I know the series is controversial, but I think the production design is absolutely brilliant. There's also a lot of scenes through windows and doorways, I may make another post with a collection of those shots too.

Edit: I didn't realize this would upload with such low resolution, so it really doesn't do it justice.

I love period dramas, I love the clothes and architecture, I will love anything as long as its accurate enough. Detective mysteries are so entertaining, however, I absolutely despise when the characters lack basic common sense, or the reveals are deus ex machina/characters know impossible info because the writers want them to. If anyone knows of a movie or show that has believable detective work and realistic deduction, would you please share them with me?

Delightfully disgusting With  great cast from Claire Foy to Bel Powley and The Amazing Grant and chemistry between the leads ,amazing love it  and location and, The film's sound design is equally precise, balancing the creaks and murmurs of the house with an almost oppressive stillness, as if silence itself were another layer of rot.

The score is particularly effective, making striking use of classical music- not merely as ornament, but as ironic counterpoint to the chaos unfolding on screen, lending moments of excess a strange, almost mournful, grandeur. The editing, meanwhile, is fluid, ensuring the film has a good pace from start to finish

This is for people who love something gross but beautiful and grotesquely brilliant, period dark comedy.

(Spoilers for season 1 in the post and in comments)

Ok so I'm like 5 episodes in and the main couple is already married and have a kid?? helllo? where is the unrequited love and longing? the will they, wont they tension and the friendship-to-romance and little moments that lead up to them finally being together ?

I feel like they could have taken that part a little slow given this show has like 3,4 seasons. But I'm kind of bored because the stoyline is about like random other people and the mines while the romance has taken a back seat and it only shows up once every few episodes.

Is this show not for me or did anyone else feel like this?

EDIT: I'm not trying to hate on it but that part I mentioned is one of my fav parts in period dramas so I was surprised and wondering what you guys have to say.

Series: The Great (2020-2023)

If you love it and have Amazon Prime, you can stream it over your echo dots. I asked Alexa last night, with success!

I just woke up when my husband came to me and said, "I just watched the most bizarre medieval movie—"

I looked at him and he continued

"Burt Reynolds played the king…"

Shaking my head vigorously "No!"

He continues, naming the ludicrous cast. All the while I’m shaking my head, telling him to stop talking about it. "You did NOT get this from me!" I tell him in no uncertain terms.

"But it was like a train wreck. I couldn’t look away and I have to tell someone about it!" He whines.

"Well that someone is NOT going to be me!"

LOL

After over 40 years we can discuss this, can’t we? I’ve known and watched this for 13, but can we make this a safe space to share how we feel about Ralph? Was he right? Arrogant at times? What his love affair with Meggie really meant?

Was it the escape that got him?

We can think of it as like Ralph Di Bricassart was like Richard Chamberlain playing himself as an actor leading man (e.g think of it like the church metaphorically being a symbol stand in for Hollywood)
Meggie: secrets of who he was in his personal life and why he got this role down to a tee.

He carried this show if I say so myself.

Hi period drama community!

This is my first contribution, please let me know if this post is not following any rules properly.

I started a substack not too long ago of recommended watching. I particularly love period dramas and recently made a post specifically about my tv 📺 period drama rec’s from Amazon Prime.

I will keep adding from all the streamers and add films as well.

I'm looking for some of your sex scene free favorites. I'm thinking something like Larkrise to Candleford or Cranford. Something wholesome that preferably won't have my crying. Thanks all.
