Cameron Davis

Asher Young
>favourite
Would love a tv drama about a French family during the 100-years-war period or some medieval family in the Holy Roman Empire - anything but the 213rd drama about something English...
Joshua Bailey
Yes. It's a 'period'.
Luis Hernandez
Borgias
Not "The Borgias." Which sucks dicks despite the presence of Jeremy Irons.
Asher Robinson
rurouni kenshin
Brody Anderson
Pretty much everything HBO has ever done. Deadwood is their best by far, but Boardwalk Empire and Rome were pretty great as well.
Kevin Cooper
Rome is so fucking good
Julian Martinez
watching I, Claudius now
Joseph Rogers
Vikings, Spartacus? or Reign count?
Brody Flores
Too much filler, but a great soundtrack.
Leo Murphy
What did you think about GoT?
Levi Russell
I still have to watch John Adams and Carnivale
Luis Thompson
>Reign
It looks like complete shit tho
Henry Collins
The Spanish "Isabel" was pretty good.
Adrian Allen
To be perfectly honest, I most watch them for hot chicks in historical/fantasy costumes.
Noah Jenkins
is marco polo any good?
William Murphy
Didn't get through the first episode
Juan Smith
Vikings is okay, Spartacus is fun, Reign is shite.
Jonathan Green
The history is dogshit. Story telling is on point.
Connor Cooper
You pretend it's about Kublai and not about Marco.
Chase Morris
Not a period piece, it's another world...
...Though I suppose one could argue Conan was.
Jonathan Phillips
>tfw no seven season-long drama chronicling the giants of Roman and Egyptian history and culminating with the appearance of Jesus
I really wish they hadn't spent as much on the huge sets for Deadwood and Rome.
Spartacus features gratutious violence and nudity, but that's part of its charm. If you like the idea of a long-form version of 300, you'll definitely enjoy it.
I've tried getting into Vikings three times now and l still can't get through the first season. The small scale battles when they first start raiding England are great, but it's very boring apart from that. It's trying too hard to be an HBO show, but fails because of the lackluster writing.
Well it's a fantasy show and all, but they're definitely devoted to their setting, although this season felt lazy in comparison to their earlier stuff.
John Adams is by far the best miniseries l've ever watched. The top-notch writing enhances the already entertaining story, the casting is spot on with some phenomenal acting as well.
Connor Richardson
Downton is great, Pride and Prejudice the tv series is at about the same level.
Angel Campbell
Also Outlander is a good series [spoiler] it's not really historical because time travel but it tries to be [/spoiler] [spoiler] Also a man gets raped in the final episode and the scenes are hard to fucking watch. It's really really fucking gruesome. [/spoiler]
Isaac Cooper
Just finished watching the first series of Borgia which I enjoyed but struggled to get in to the second series.
I liked Versailles too.
Colton Scott
Joshua Green
I, Claudius is pretty neat, been thinking about reading the book
Landon Ortiz

Wyatt Hughes
Fall of eagles is GOAT
Jonathan Martin
I recently discovered Poldark, it's fucking great.
Levi Mitchell
Is that Patrick Stewart as Lenin?
lol
Liam Taylor
John Wilson
Here's him as Sejanus
>hair
Levi Butler
>brits playing russians
Lucas Taylor
sooooo he basically hasn't changed in appearance since 1974
how does he do it?
Ian White
I just read them one or two months ago. Pretty good. It's written as memoirs, so all the cool dialogues from the series are not there, but it's good in its own way.
Nathaniel Martin
>"It wasn't worth it, was it? I could've told you that"
Daniel James
>actors acting
Zachary Robinson
I'd love to see more of it...
Nathaniel Martin
The Borgias is great if you want to see some really fancy looking clothes and props. They had a great budget.
Jayden Lee
Borgias has it as well.
Not to mention The Borgias flows like a typical American understanding of European History. For example, it totally forgot that the Borgias were Spanish -even worse, suspected as mixed-race ex-jews- and Italians gave them shit for this continuously.
Isaac Hernandez
> Lenin
> russian
William Green
Nathaniel Parker
I watched the first series of the Tudors. Enjoyed it. Wasn't enough to make me watch the rest tho.
Bentley Hill
I really like Black Sails but then again I have a pirate fetish
Jaxon Edwards
Spartacus was good for its time, being created just after and mimicking 300. Re-watched a few episodes recently and the violence and associated animation just seems too over the top and lewd now. Story is not horrible though; note I have only ever watched until the end of the season where they jumped back in time because they were looking for a new actor to play Spartacus.
Seconded. Poldark is great.
Adrian Ortiz
Deadwood is the best show I've ever seen.
Ian Mitchell
I can recommend Desperate Romantics. Kinda girly, but good. Great entry level for learning about art, or for the well-educated fan already.
Nolan Diaz
BBC Pride and Prejudice series is really good.
Watched it multiple times.
Ryder Sanders
Mad Men is the best to be honest
Aaron Gonzalez
Mean girls is my favourite period drama.
