The Duchess

An 18th-century aristocrat enters a loveless marriage and struggles against the strict expectations placed on women of her position. As she becomes a celebrated social figure, political supporter, and fashion icon, complicated relationships test her independence and loyalty.

My take

You may enjoy this if you like elegant, bittersweet period dramas about constrained women, complicated relationships, and aristocratic society; Not for you if you need brisk pacing, rigorous history, or intense romantic chemistry.
