The historical drama has always been one of my favorite TV genres of shows, and since starting this site several years ago, I’ve watched my fair share of series that fall into the category. Here are nine historical drama shows I’d definitely recommend.

Ready or Not 2: Here I Come is a horror comedy that’s neither scary nor funny. When you consider that I thoroughly enjoyed the movie’s 2019 predecessor, Ready or Not, Ready or Not 2 is a major disappointment.

The Curse of Chalion is a 2001 fantasy novel by Lois McMaster Bujold. While it’s officially the first novel in the author’s World of the Five Gods fantasy series, this 442-page book stands completely on its own and tells a complete story.

Having recently watched and enjoyed Season 1 of The Pitt, I was excited to check out this second season. I’m happy to report that this sophomore outing of the medical drama is on par with that initial season in terms of quality. However, there are a few aspects of the show that prevent it from being truly outstanding.

This roundup of graphic novel reviews features crime stories, ghostly musings, and dark fantasy. Though none of these comics truly miss the mark, all three fail to really stand out as fantastic reads.

This April, let’s take a look at three newly streaming 2026 releases. Are any of these films really worth checking out in your allotted movie-viewing hours?

City of Stairs is the first book in Robert Jackson Bennett’s The Divine Cities trilogy. It’s a genre mashup that combines fantasy with mystery and politics.

A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms is a refreshing (yet brief) return to the Westeros. A prequel to Game of Thrones, the six-episode series is an adaptation of the first of three novellas in George R. R. Martin’s Tales of Dunk and Egg series.

The Books of Babel is an original four-book fantasy series. The first three books are great, but the series is derailed by a disappointing final book.

This month, we’ll review two recently streaming releases along with a film that’s over a decade old that you might have missed.

I’m always on the hunt for quality TV shows to watch. In honor of President’s Day earlier this month, I decided to check out an older miniseries that I’d heard of but had never gotten around to watching: HBO’s John Adams.

This February, we’ll take a look at a trio of newly streaming titles. Featured in this month’s films: the trials and tribulations of a musical duo, an employment situation that’s quite a bit off the wall, and a chimpanzee that goes bananas.

Technically, a period piece is just any film set in a past era. When I think of period piece movies though, I usually first think of films set at least a hundred or so years ago. More specifically, I personally think of movies set in Europe around the years 1700-1900.

I’m a bit late to the party when it comes to watching/reviewing HBO’s first season of the critically acclaimed The Pitt. Well, as the saying goes, better late than never.

There are quite a few reasons that Octopath Traveler 0 should be a video game I really enjoy as it checks a number of boxes of what I typically love to find in video games. Unfortunately, the final product is not up to par.

In our first movie roundup of 2026, we’ll take a look at a trio of films from last year. These movies might all have two-word titles, but when comparing these three films to one another, the similarities basically stop there.

Predator: Badlands… more like Predator: Bad Movie.

It’s been a while since I enjoyed a movie less than I did Predator: Badlands. It’s not even bad in a “fun-bad” way; it’s like watching an overlong video game cutscene.

It’s hard to believe that 2025 has come to an end. Where does the time go? It seems like just yesterday everyone was in a panic because all of the world’s infrastructure was going to shut down because of the Y2K bug. Now we’re suddenly a quarter done with this century.

As the year nears an end, let’s take some time to review three more 2025 films. Are any of these titles worth checking out before we head into 2026?

Wake Up Dead Man, the third entry into writer-director Rian Johnson’s Knives Out series, is far from awful, but, considering the critical acclaim it’s received, is a major disappointment and extremely overrated.
