Period drama The Collection comes to Masterpiece on PBS this weekend, with a thinly fictionalized tale of Paris' notorious fashion comeback post-WWII.

This weekend a new costume period piece begins on PBS, just in time for some much needed escapism. But it's been a long and circular route to get here. The miniseries was originally bankrolled as part of Amazon Prime's bid for a breakout streaming drama, in conjuction with the BBC. It aired in the UK over a year ago, before debuting on the streaming service over here in February. Now, it comes to Masterpiece. The series was originally eight parts, but PBS has edited it down to six, with the opening episode running 90 minutes.
