Does Star Wars count as a historical drama? There are dramatic elements within it. And it does take place a long time ago.
Outlander the TV show with the time traveler chick? My wife watched it. The few scenes I saw looked decent.
Yeah. My wife and I watch the first couple seasons and apparently the third one is out for viewing online now
Netflix has a new show that they put together. It's called Troy fall of a city. Just starting the first episode now. I will report what it's like afterwards
Too Scottish for my liking. I haven’t seen it but it showed on BBC and apparently it wasn’t very well received. Of course that won’t influence me, but I’m just informing you of it in case you find it to be poor as well.
Oh, it was poor. Watched the first two episodes and gave up. Mediocre dialogue, acting that was let down by said dialogue, wierd changes from source material. Diverse cast which notmally isn't a bad thing but achillies AND Zeus being black was disarming. Interesting, for sure. But disarming
I just noticed you even forgot the most important point: It is said that the word "Jedi" was based of the japanese word Jidaigeki (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jidaigeki) which in fact means "historical drama". So yeah. damn close!
Versailles ..?........ unknown to me. Victoria .....?......... haven’t missed an episode. I guess I am 50/50 on historical dramas filed under: V
Decided to resurrect this thread because I've been watching more historical dramas of late, namely Rome and Spartacus. Rome is just perfect. Believable and likeable original characters alongside the giants of history, with some superb actors in there too. What a shame it hadn't gone on for a couple more series... Spartacus is not as good, I have to admit, because of the excessive CGI, the over-exaggerated gore e.t.c but the story's good, and it's worth watching for that if nothing else.
Agreed, those are brilliant as well. Spoiler: In case you haven't seen the series Sharpe is one of the few shows where Sean Bean doesn't die!
