Topic: Best period TV show?

I tend to focus more on the science-fiction genre of television, but there are some excellent shows out there that look to the past instead of the future.

I've chosen 14 for you to choose from, but feel free to tell me all about your favourite if it isn't in the list.

Is Santah gonna cheat on this one? It should obviously be Blackadder...

Jason figured it out? Jason!?

Daemons are benevolent or benign nature spirits, beings of the same nature as both mortals and gods, similar to ghosts, chthonic heroes, spirit guides, forces of nature or the gods themselves.

Re: Best period TV show?

Well, Rome was with big budget, but still if you want realistic period show, then i believe Rome isn't the best period TV show.
Maybe i'm a idiot(Actually, sometimes i believe, I am ), but i have seen Rome, interesting plot, but so is Merlin plot IMO, but that don't make Merlin very good period show.

And Band of Brothers is mini-series, but still a series. 10 episode, that's more than average British show tongue
Every episode 60 min.(60*10) that's (I think, now i remember, actually it isn't, because of the pilot episode of Firefly. So it's still pretty close to that big_smile) more than Firefly, who we miss so much.
Anyway, my point. I believe, best period show was Band of Brothers, because it showed from my opinion pretty good WWII. But still, i haven't been there. i might be mistaking.

From the poll, i can't choose show what's from there is the best period show. (haven't seen about half shows from the list) But i just didn't like all thous good words about Rome.  Don't hate that show, my brother loves it. Just think that it's not that realistic what all people say.
