It is really weird but I thought it was worth it. They conveyed his power exactly as it should have been which is almost god like :)

Too many to list. The Expanse, Black Sails, Fringe, Person of Interest, The Last Kingdom, Vikings, to name a few.

I don’t care if you don’t want to watch it but it’s not appearing on my screen so the algorithms have marked you in some fashion to believe that you might want to watch it.

The passage of time isn't sufficient to classify it as a 'period' ...... or the difference in fast cars and fashion isn't to far removed from today' era physically.

Look at any thing that is currently classified as a 'period' piece. The differences in behavior and style is so vastly removed from what we know, that it works and deserves the tag 'period'.

No because the original was tied in to that periods way of thinking, life, money and fashion.

You could make a program and recycle the stories but because the writers would all be younger than the originals (who couldn't re-write it because their minds are still from the original era) it wouldn't work out as they'd be trying to balance it for modern audiences in order to get them to watch the show.
