I'm looking for something similar to Poldark

Ishouldreallybeonanisland · 28/02/2022 19:09

I've just finished watching Poldark and feel a gap in my life! Is there another series out there that is sort of similar to Poldark? I enjoyed the romance and the late 1700's period etc

Outlander, very addictive romance set in the 1700s

Appalonia · 28/02/2022 19:30

Leonardo, on Amazon Prime. Also has Aiden Turner in!

FuzzyPuffling · 28/02/2022 19:30

The original 1970s Poldark. It's excellent,

VerandaSanta · 28/02/2022 19:33

Oh gosh yes definitely Outlander. I think I may have to watch it all over again!

Or Bridgerton? Albeit only one series so far it is very good.

Desperate Romantics on iPlayer
Around the world in 80 days - also iPlayer

SparkleSpangle · 28/02/2022 19:40

Agree with these suggestions. Especially Outlander.

Maybe Downton Abbey

Ladylornax12 · 28/02/2022 19:47

Outlander for sure.

XelaM · 28/02/2022 19:53

Reign

mateysmum · 28/02/2022 19:55

Another for Outlander. Sam Heughan is my current crush!

VerandaSanta · 28/02/2022 20:42

Anyone know how to watch Outlander? I'm sure it used to be on Prime.

MoChridhe · 28/02/2022 20:44

@VerandaSanta

Anyone know how to watch Outlander? I'm sure it used to be on Prime.
It is now on Starzplay

Oh thanks for these suggestions. I'm going to have to work out how I can view Outlander! I hadn't heard of it Smile

Reign looks promising too

Perhaps not quite on brief but I loved The Great also on Starz, very dirty and very funny

Desperate Romantics looks great too. So many great suggestions. I fell in love with Adrian Turner as Poldark rather pathetically. My gosh he was a hottie in that!

Onedin Line?

EmpressCixi · 28/02/2022 21:07

Frontier is 1700s Canada
Thieves of the Wood is 1700s Flanders

Not 1700s but really good...
The Luminaries
Barbarians
Marco Polo
Medici the Magnificent
Gentleman Jack
Vikings
The English Game
Rebellion
The Alienist
Knightfall
Alias Grace
Saints and Strangers

Bit of fantasy
La Revolution (1700s France)
Carnival Row
The Witcher

I've enjoyed watching Hornblower recently

BellatrixOnABadDay · 28/02/2022 21:27

Definitely watch Desperate Romantics if you like Aidan Turner, he plays Dante Gabriel Rossetti in it and is really hot!

Also Being Human, very different vibe but again, Aidan Turner 😁

I love Outlander as well, Catriona Balfe is fantastic in that.

XelaM · 28/02/2022 21:29

Ohh Medici is good - it has the absolutely hottest male cast

XelaM · 28/02/2022 21:30

Medici is on Netflix

janeseymour78 · 28/02/2022 21:30

Also The Gilded Age written by Julian Fellowes (Downton Abbey) Demelza's brother from Poldark is even in it Smile

The first series of Being Human is great. After that it goes a bit downhill. Outlander is great too.
