So, I decided to watch this show out of the blue and was wondering if it utilizes its setting of 19th century France as more than just window dressing. I really like learning about history and the 19th century was a time of monumental political change and violence for France. Among other things, there were numerous revolutions of all kinds from the 1790s to 1870.

Part of the reason why I ask is that they mention a Count in the second episode. Throughout the century, aristocratic titles were abolished and reinstated in France multiple times.
Edit: A queen has been mentioned, too!

no, it’s pretty much more so fantasy or rather alternative history with vampires

No it does not, and regardless the aristocracy you’re talking about are vampires and are not part of the normal world’s ruling class

I know I shouldn't be, but this is kind of disappointing. This era is a rich one for France. Ah well.

There's a whole arc involving the Beast of Gevaudan which has real historical reportings (although ofc just a myth). But not a whole lot of politics yet, unfortunately for you. It has a nice aesthetic though, and the characters are easy to become attached to. I'd give it a shot still just in case.

I think I will. The first two episodes were engaging enough.

Yeah, I noticed that after the finishing the second episode last night.

it's not really a historic setting. it's more alternate history with a vaguely steampunk vibe
