The Best 10 Historical Mini-Series for Outlander Fans
Starz's biggest fantasy show is once again enjoying its sweet time on hiatus, and fans of the time-traveling epic are left to their own devices.
To help you scratch that "Outlander " itch, we've compiled a list of 10 great, if slightly inderrated, historical miniseries to help you make the long wait a little more bearable.
Of course, "Outlander" is an incredibly unique show that mixes realistic historical details with outlandish fantasy elements, and there simply aren't any shows exactly like it.
However, the shows listed above can at least compete with Starz's blockbuster in terms of historical authenticity. The production teams of these shows spend countless hours trying to make the sets, costumes, and even the language of the characters seem appropriate to their historical periods, and their monumental work has clearly paid off.
While most of the shows on this list are relatively recent, don't skip "I, Claudius" in favor of the newer shows, as this iconic British miniseries about the life of a Roman emperor is often cited as one of the best TV shows ever made, and fans of "Outlander" will surely enjoy the intrigue, passionate love affairs, and little historical details found in this ancient Roman epic.
