When I saw the preview for Netflix's Bridgerton I knew I had to watch it. Within a few days, I had watched the entire series and it left me on such a TV hangover that is hard to shake. I loved the Gossip Girl meets Pride and Prejudice set up of the show. It was fun and full of love and drama and I was obsessed. Awaiting a second season I decided to share some of my favorite historical fiction for those who are craving some more shows like Bridgerton.

1. Downton Abbey

Downton Abbey follows both a wealthy family and their servants. Sex, drama, and scandal plague Downton and it becomes so addicting you won't want to stop watching.

5. Reign

This follows a young Mary Queen of Scots and her life from the moment she arrives in France to her death. I consider this the "if Mary Queen of Scots went to Coachella" series and the fun of it makes the show enjoyable.

6. Ekaterina: The Rise of Catherine the Great

This is another Masterpiece classic that revolves around Catherine the Great but it doesn't just focus on the end of her life but more so when she is young and into who she will become.
