i’m tired of historical dramas trying to spice things up with sex scenes instead of giving the audience what they really want which is excessively long scenes of noble women being dressed in sumptuous and period accurate layers by their attendants with gratuitous shots of the era-appropriate fastenings and lacings being done

And long panning shots of historical buildings and locations that still exist, but bustling with activity back in another time period

Don’t forget: explaining what the politics and leading philosophies of the time period actually are

And artisans! Cooks! Clothiers! Craftmasters in the middle of the painstaking process of creating works of art to adorn the world the nobles inhabit. Beautiful embroidery and intricate feasts.

And armour that hasn’t been scoured down to its base metal thank you Victorians.
