One Dozen Romantic Period Dramas for Valentine's Day
Valentine's Day may be a holiday semi-invented by a conspiracy of florists, chocolatiers, and Hallmark, but that doesn't make it any less of a symbol. It is the halfway point for the shortest (and, let's face it, dreariest) month of the year. Even if you have no sweetheart to take out or the only person to buy chocolates for is yourself, we can all celebrate February 14th as the day this month is half over. And what better way to get through the greyest month than with happy romantic tv series and movies?
Since 2023 is making the most of the holiday by putting it smack in the middle of the week, there are two weekends to sit around eating bonbons and watching fluffy feel-good romance. And there's little that fluffier that period romances, where you can ogle the gowns and sigh over the perfect drawing rooms and the beautiful people finding love in all sorts of cliched manners.
Lucky for us, period romance tv series and films aren't limited to one or two streaming services. No matter who you subscribe to, there's something for historical drama lovers of all stripes. Here's a rundown of a dozen options to watch this month.
