Honestly, as much as a love the Gilded Age and glitz glamor of the wealth it shows...what has really caught my attention is the plotline unions and mills

I am once again starting my campaign for Hollywood to create a mini series based on the Progressive era

And I want it as dark, gritty, a realistic as possible.

Hey Tumblr, there's a new historical/period comedy series on Netflix which you will love! It's called 1670! It's about Polish nobility and their peasant-thralls. However, Netflix is not promoting it to international audiences, bc it's Polish, even though there are subtitles available in so many languages!

It has:

Great Humour

Amazing Polish Folk Music

Historical Costumes that are not Western!

CANON LESBIANS

One of the said lesbians is a repressed lesbian w religious trauma & the subplot lasts longer than one episode

Priest Jakub

A really good combination of making historical and ahistorical jokes

And much more!

Seriously, give it a watch bc I'd hate to see only my Polish mutuals watch it, it's new, it's fresh, it's witty, not another remake, and it shows another culture & history! (aren't you tired of watching yet another show on the English monarchy, then 1670 is there for ya)

To anyone who has not seen Mafin as a couple, please just watch the first 5 seconds of this clip to see what Spain is doing for our lesbian hearts. Episode after episode of lesbian goodness and respect and support and public acknowledgement. All in a historical drama that stays true to its time. This was shared on their public promotional instagram for heaven's sake!

If you don't branch out beyond English language content, this is your signal to please do so. I'm begging you. There are youtube compilations [HERE] of just their storyline (it's a telenovela so there are tons of plotlines and characters) translated into English. So please please please. Join the mafin community cause you're missing out 😭

(PS tagging some lesbian ships to help people find this beautiful couple. Ya'll deserve a canon ship I stg)
