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.

A little over three months ago, I finished watching the first season of The Last Kingdom, a historical fiction epic, and gave the show a mostly positive review. Well, I’ve finally finished watching the entire series, which consisted of five total seasons (46 episodes) and a Netflix-released two-hour movie.
