Past events and stories always captivate attention in TV series, sparking a unique kind of interest. Recently, historical-themed or inspired series have become increasingly popular, offering new ways of presenting real or fictional events from the past. When history blends with modern humor, music, and atmosphere, it becomes impossible to look away.

One such standout series is "Bridgerton," which has recently become a true sensation in the world of film and television. We'll discuss this series in more detail later, but for now, we’ve prepared a list of historical-themed series that you're sure to enjoy if you liked "Bridgerton."

📌🎬 Dickinson (2019)

"Dickinson" tells the story of Emily Dickinson, an American woman from the 1800s, who was determined to become a famous poet at all costs. A little spoiler: she succeeds, as today Emily Dickinson is considered one of America’s greatest writers.

The series covers a variety of topics such as love, hatred, war, loss, and gender inequality, but it’s actually quite lighthearted, filled with quirky humor and charming characters. One interesting addition is the soundtrack, which consists of modern music that doesn’t match the 1800s setting but fits perfectly with the scenes.

🎞️ The series has three seasons, with episodes lasting around 30 minutes.

Definitely worth watching if you enjoy melodramas, lavish costumes, and balls.

📌🎬 The Great (2020)

The young German princess, Sophia Augusta Frederica of Anhalt-Zerbst, marries Emperor Peter III of Russia and becomes Catherine II. Initially, she hopes to find love and happiness but soon becomes disillusioned with her husband, both as a man and as a ruler.
