I've pretty much given up on PBS period dramas since the second season of Downtown Abby. They were somewhat problematic before then, too. But after D.A. became a mega-hit sensation, all their "dramas" feel like the most sleazy view-bait made "respectable" because they've got a veneer of "Educational content!" rather sloppily painted on.
