Stranded at the airport with nothing but a slow-paced period drama to watch.

I couldn't get past the first episode because the pacing was so tedious.

Read a film critic's blog once that said some period dramas use a editing trick called a "digital intermediate" to drain color and slow motion slightly, which can make everything feel heavy. Might explain why some shows feel like walking through mud even when the plot should be moving. They do it for a "historical" look but it just kills momentum sometimes.
