Looking for period shows set between 1920 and the 50s. Shows that have a feel similar to LA Confidential, if that makes sense. I’ve got World on Fire and Perry Mason on my list. I’m not terribly picky about the genre, it’s the period and the setting I am interested in. I am hoping to find some gems I have overlooked that aren’t Netflix single season cancels. I’m really looking for shoes, but I’ll take movie recommendations too if you’d be so kind.

Thanks for your consideration.

Edit: these are great recommendations! Thank you all for your quick and thoughtful responses. I’ve seen some of these and loved them, so I am sure the rest will be great.

    Carnivale, Boardwalk Empire, the last season or two of Downton Abbey, Call the Midwife, Marvelous Mrs Maisel. All of those came up on search (amongst many more), and I enjoyed them. Mrs Maisel is one of my favorite shows ever.
