Forget Outlander, Here Are 11 Must-See Historical Series on Prime in March
Starz's "Outlander" has been a massive hit since it premiered in 2014, with millions of people calling it the best historical show ever.
And while this sentiment has some basis in reality, as the show's recreation of different historical periods does look realistic, it's far from the truth.
The thing is, there are a lot of great period shows streaming right now, and most of them do a better job of recreating historical periods than "Outlander, " since they don't feature time travel and don't focus so much on the romantic storyline.
Here are 11 must-see historical series on Amazon Prime to binge this March:
We're pretty sure you won't recognize all the shows on this list, and that's exactly what we tried to do. We specifically chose to highlight underrated period shows because the genre itself is a bit too populated with smash hits like "Outlander" and "Bridgerton " that steal all the attention and prevent great shows like the ones mentioned above from reaching their audience.
And they deserve to be seen! From revolutionary France to 18th-century Russia, the shows on this list cover a lot of historical periods, and even if they sometimes stray from the facts, they do so only for the sake of entertainment.
If you loved "Outlander" for its period setting but hated its fanatical elements, check out these 11 shows!
