I’m looking for a series to watch that is similar to Games of Thrones, The Last Kingdom and Vikings. Any opinions? Thanks!

Do you have Netflix? If so, check out ROMAN EMPIRE. It's technically a documentary, but one that is dramatized. Very well done, and lots of the intrigue, fighting, loyalties, disloyalties, and family drama that you see in GAME OF THRONES.

HBO's "Rome" TV series was excellent. It covers the fall of Ceasar through the rise of Octavian. It is cleverly written and quite well acted. Some of the GOT cast may be found here....Ciaran Hinds plays Caesar, he is Mance Rader in GOT. Indira Varma has the important role of the main character's wife, on GOT she is Ellaria Sand, last seen chained to a Red Keep dungeon wall. And Tobias Menzies, who played the bumbling, ineffectual Edmure Tully, in Rome plays a bumbling, ineffectual Brutus.

If you have Starz check out Maximillian
Historical drama
Well done attention to details and acting is good

There is also a series on about the Knights Templars — forget the channel but it’s cable
Knightfall — second season is showing now but first is available I think on platforms

Yes, all of the above ...Try 'Legends of the Seeker'?
'Grimm'
Humans?
Lost Girl?
Rome?
The Tudors?
Merlin?


These are mostly fantasy - Sci-Fi with murdering and magic, at least...
romance and sex and power struggles...lol.

Sorry..but they WILL capture your interest.
