To Walk Invisible (2016)
Very 'Miss Austen Regrets' but because it is about the Brontes, obviously darker and sadder.
I would heartily recommend 'To Walk Invisible' as a heartfelt, insightful and quite succinct look into the world of the Bronte sisters. Any follower of their literature and fellow lover of period dramas would be amiss in not watching this venture.
Go for it. A lot of novelty in a subject as popular for chroniclers as the Brontes. It is interesting to see the family dynamics of the Brontes, especially as so much of their writing was a product of the same.
I am always on the lookout for interesting period dramas and this year has yielded very few which I would willingly rewatch. This one is one I definitely will.
I hope this review is helpful and it adds to your understanding of the Brontes and their incredible craft.
Reign (2013)
Not really one for period drama lovers
I have just finished watching the very excellent Versailles and this show was recommended by some to watch. It feels very trite and unfortunately I am really not into it at all. The intrigues feel very heave handed.
I would not recommend anyone to watch it unless you are a teenager. There are cute dresses and a good looking young actors for that demographic of course.
While they are trying to do pull a Baz Luhrmann with all the jazzy new age music, it really is not successful at all.
If you really do want to watch a historical TV drama, go and watch The Tudors or better the War and Peace (the one with Paul Dano) miniseries.
