Now that I have the obligatory first post out of the way, I can get down to business and start talking about the media I've been consuming lately.

On Thanksgiving this past year my family partook in our tradition of watching a film after eating. Due to a gif making tumblr I recently followed, I saw a delightful gif set from Pride and Prejudice (2005) and immediately felt compelled to watch the film with my adult gaze. I remember watching it once when I was younger, but couldn't properly appreciate it.

Come Thanksgiving day, after consuming our fill of food, we went to the living room to choose a film to watch. I insisted upon Pride and Prejudice (2005) to which everyone agreed would be nice to watch. And so we did. And the rest is history. And since that day I have been on a kick for historical dramas and period pieces.

I mentioned this to my co-workers, and they courteously helped me compile a list of shows and films to check out at my leisure.

This is that list.
