HaworthThe small Yorkshire village has been compared to a 1940s film set because of its attributes that make it feel like it's in the past.It's home to a steam train and narrow cobbled streets, while some of its former residents are incredibly well known.The village was the home of the Brontë sisters in the early 19th century and has retained a lot of its historical charm since then.Between them, the sisters made significant contributions to the world of literature, including famous novels like Wuthering Heights and Jane Eyre.

9 Wuthering Heights (2009)1 Season, 2 EpisodesWhen it comes to literary classics that influenced shows like Poldark, Wuthering Heights comes into the discussion. This English masterpiece by Emily Brontë has received adaptations for both the big and small screen several times, with each adaptation giving us something new and unique. For the TV version, the 2009 series starring Tom Hardy as Heathcliff should attract fans of shows like Poldark. While the show might not match up with some of the movie adaptations, Hardy received almost universal praise for his performance.8 Jane Eyre (2006)1 Season, 4 EpisodesCharlotte Bronte's novel, Jane Eyre has also been the target of endless movies and TV show adaptations over the years. However, the 2006 version might be the best one to date, mostly due to how faithful it is to the source material. The grim and dark feel of the show will feel familiar to fans of shows like Poldark, much like Jane and Rochester's rocky relationship. The performances are a delight, and even though it's a miniseries, it's worth a watch. It also picked up three Emmy wins out of nine nominations. (Shawn S. Lealos and Mariana Fernandes)
Note, the Victorian-set book is a fictional autobiography by McCandless. During the 19th century, unreliable narrators popped up in a number of Gothic classics including Bram Stoker’s “Dracula” (1897); Robert Louis Stevenson’s “Strange Case of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde” (1886); Emily Brontë’s “Wuthering Heights” (1847); Edgar Allan Poe’s “The Cask of Amontillado” (1846); and Mary Shelley’s “Frankenstein; or, The Modern Prometheus” (1818), on which Poor Things is heavily influenced.
