Call them dramas, these 10 series of love, intrigue, tragedy, and comedy. But at least a few of them are also a mix of travelogue, historical fiction and family dynamics.
Again, the list is alphabetical, not in order of my preference. If it were the latter, my favorite movie of all time, which falls into this category, would be at the top and not in eighth place. Yes, it's a TV series, the 1995 version of Jane Austen's Pride & Prejudice with Colin Firth and Jennifer Ehle, pictured. To my way of thinking, this presentation is the best pairing of two actors -- ever.
While P&P is part of my list of 10, it deserves special recognition for its elegance, beauty, acting, and overall great entertainment. Some of the same attributes can be found in the other shows, as well. Check Netflix for descriptions of each.
