01
My Lady Jane
Why this pick
A gleefully revisionist royal romp with modern comic energy, romantic friction, and a heroine refusing the role history assigns her—close in spirit to The Great’s irreverence.

02
Dickinson
Why this pick
Like The Great, it treats a period setting as a playful emotional playground: deliberately contemporary language, sharp comic rhythms, and a rebellious young woman pushing against social rules.
03
Harlots
Why this pick
Its 18th-century London is less fantastical but similarly lush and pointed, driven by quick wit, sexual politics, and formidable women battling for autonomy and influence.
04
The Serpent Queen
Why this pick
For Catherine’s cool strategic ascent and direct-to-viewer cheek: this stylish royal drama centers another outsider navigating a vicious court with mordant humor and hard-edged resolve.
05
Renegade Nell
Why this pick
A buoyant, visually rich historical adventure led by a spirited woman who upends class expectations; it carries The Great’s appetite for swagger, romance, and playful period reinvention.
