Have you heard of a man named Seneca? A little. Did he write about a pool of lampreys? Vedius Pollio, friend of Augustus, stocked a pool by his villa in Naples.

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)

"I often think, why did I not die in the cradle or the womb, like my brothers and sisters? It must be that God has a design for me. Soon I, too, may be elevated beyond what seems possible now."

everybody needs to quit horsing around and watch My Lady Jane so that I can see more discussion about it

a slightly ridiculous fantasy, period drama with an angsty, forbidden main couple? yes pls

it’s marketed as a cliche enemies to lovers and hm I don’t know about that but I def don’t hate it!!

ALSO EVERYONE IN THIS SHOW IS GORGEOUS
