Recommend me something as good as this


Please.

I am pretty picky with TV, but I liked this. Very intelligent, well acted and well paced.

What else do Garrow enthusiasts watch on TV?

So what do you want?
Another Georgian time period drama about the evolution of the justice system is "City of Vice" , about the beginnings of the Bow street runners. More stylised, grittier and less popular, but well acted and historically more accurate.

"The Mill" is another period drama about the industrial revolution that was astonishingly watchable (stars Aidan McArdle AKA Mr. Silvester as an agitator for worker's rights) and is based on historic facts. A second series is currently in production.

Much glossier and more superficial was the "Aristocrats" about a couple of sisters marrying into influencial families in Georgian times (stars Alun Armstrong as Charles Fox).


Not yet released is 4-parter "The Great Fire" about the London fire of 1666, starring Andrew Buchan AKA Mr. Garrow as the baker in whose premises the fire started. Mostly based on historical records of the time.I am looking forward to it, but I have only seen the trailer so far.

Thank you very much for these recommendations.

Indeed, I have read about The Great Fire and plan on seeing it. It may have already been shown.

Take care.

Re : the great fire: I have seen the first three parts and I am disappointed, it's a waste of good actors with a rather weak script and direction.

Agreed. It really sucked.

A waste of some good actors too. Oh well, they can't all be winners.

A movie, not a TV series:
