Set in a post-World War II era, former British Army nurse Claire Randall is enjoying a honeymoon with her husband when she’s unexpectedly swept away and transported back to Scotland in 1743. In a time where her freedom and life are threatened just for being a woman, she marries a Highlander named Jamie Fraser to get by. Though their union was originally born out of necessity, the two quickly fall in love, and help each other survive the dangerous world they’ve found themselves in. Outlander is based on the fantasy-romance novels of the same name by Diana Gabaldon. Its sixth season is currently under production.

The Crown (2016 to present)

Lavish clothes, an alluring storyline, and a whole of lot of scandal? Sounds to us like The Crown, a.k.a. Netflix’s fictional retelling of Queen Elizabeth II’s life story. Though a tad less raunchy, we guarantee this whirlwind TV series chronicling the  momentous events in the lives of the famous British royals is every bit as juicy and satisfying as Bridgerton
