Looking for recommendations - eviltoast

Looking for period shows set between 1920 and the 50s. Shows that have a feel similar to LA Confidential, if that makes sense. I’ve got World on Fire and Perry Mason on my list. I’m not terribly picky about the genre, it’s the period and the setting I am interested in. I am hoping to find some gems I have overlooked that aren’t Netflix single season cancels. I’m really looking for shoes, but I’ll take movie recommendations too if you’d be so kind.

Thanks for your consideration.

Edit: these are great recommendations! Thank you all for your quick and thoughtful responses. I’ve seen some of these and loved them, so I am sure the rest will be great.

    • Boardwalk Empire - 1920s-30s period drama about mobsters, prohibition, etc set in New Jersey/Atlantic City
    • Miss Fisher’s Murder Mysteries - 1920’s period detective show set in Melbourne
    • Peaky Blinders - haven’t watched it myself, but my understanding is it was pretty popular, 1920s period drama about a gang set in 1920s Birmingham
    • Fargo (season 4) - haven’t watched it again, but I’ve heard good things and season 4 (it’s an anthology series, each season is a different cast/story so you don’t have to have watched the previous seasons) is 1950s Missouri with gangs
