People often find it refreshing to experience a story that is set in a time completely different from our own way of life. Like when I was a little girl, Little House on the Prairie were my favorite books and then TV show. And Jane Austen is today.

If something is on a special channel on amazon (i.e britbox , acron, etc) it is cost effective to subscribe for a month to watch a show, as appose to paying for the episodes
Here are some great shows set in late 1800 or early 1900.
Dr. Quinn
At a time when women doctors were unheard of, she brings hope and healing to a small town. Dr. Quinn is a bit of a dichotomy, a very strong women with a soft and gentle touch, she can't help but have an effect on everyone she comes in contact with. The quality is a bit out dated, since it was released in 1993, but worth the watch. P but $10 a season / 6S
So hoke because nobody looked that polished in the early 1900's! It sure is clean cut, but watching this makes you feel good, like eating warm apple pie. It stars lots of people you recognize and makes you believe it would be wonderful to live during this time. N /5S
Anne with an E
This is a modern take on Anne of Green Gables. I thought it was going to be for kids, but it is very mature. I really enjoyed the first 2 seasons, and the 3 not as much. But if you're looking for something light and easy to watch this is it. N / 3S
I saved the best for last! This is one of the shows, you can say I kind of mourned when it ended. It is quite realistic and you get the feel like what it was really like to live, in a tiny Hamlet in England. It charming and funny and totally enjoyable to watch. H / 4S
