Steampunk Shows
Steampunk is a pretty loose term that covers a wide range of books, TV programs, movies, etc. For the purpose of this ongoing list I have included movies and TV shows that:
1) take place in either a Victorian/Edwardian Era (or one similar to these)
2) utilize technology available in that period (usually powered by steam or clockwork) in a way to mimic modern-type devices
The story may include supernatural elements, as long as it also has 1 and 2.
I am always looking for other shows to watch, so let me know if you have any suggestions.
