and that is mostly what I watch on Netflix streaming.

I made a list of some of my favorites for another DUer a while back. I'm pretty sure they're all still available for streaming.



The Way We Live Now (4episodes)
Daniel Deronda (4 episodes)
Mrs. Brown (the movie with Judi Dench)
The Way We Live Now (4 episodes)
North and South (4 episodes)
Wives and Daughters (4 episodes)
Bramwell – I LOVED this one!
Downton Abbey - OF COURSE
Coming Home – really good with Emily Mortimer (from The Newsroom) and Peter O'Toole
The Grand – recommended for Downton Abbey withdrawals
To the Ends of the Earth – with BENEDICT CUMBATCH
The Original Brideshead Revisited with Jeremy Irons (Absolute a must see)
From Time to Time - written by Julian Fellowes who wrote Downton Abbey


The way I found some good programs and movies was by doing a search on actors from period pieces I'd already watched.
