The Serpent Queen

RT Score: 100%
Age rating: TV-MA
Length: ~52 minute episodes
Creator: Justin Haythe

The Serpent Queen is a dramatization of the epic story of Italian orphan Catherine de’ Medici, who marries Prince Henri of France at just 14-years-old and becomes one of the most powerful rulers in French history. Samantha Morton is divine as the courageous Queen, and manages to bring a unique humor that isn’t usually seen in regular period dramas. The critically acclaimed drama is a foul-mouthed fiasco complete with cascading costumes, which is what makes it stand out from the rest. Fans will also be happy to hear there’s a second season on the way.

Vanity Fair

RT Score: 89%
Age rating: TV-14
Length: ~47 minute episodes
Director: James Strong

Based on the 1848 novel of the same name by William Makepeace Thackeray, Vanity Fair features House of the Dragon star Olivia Cooke as Becky Sharp, who tries to escape poverty and climb up the ranks of English society after the defeat of Napoleon. To add to the lively and funny adaptation, Vanity Fair features a modern soundtrack that still sticks to its period drama roots. Bridgerton fans will also be happy to see Claudia Jessie, who plays fan-favorite Eloise Bridgerton, in a starring role as Amelia Sedley in this historical spectacle.

War and Peace

RT Score: 88%
Age rating: TV-14
Length: ~58 minute episodes
Director: Tom Harper

This opulent BBC adaptation of the 1869 novel War and Peace by Leo Tolstoy has arguably become one of the greatest costume dramas of all time. War and Peace tells the story of Pierre Bezukhov (Paul Dano) and his friend Andrei Bolkonsky (James Norton), who are both in love with the beautiful Natasha Rostova (Lily James) during Russia’s wars with Napoleon. Aside from the jaw-dropping palaces and gorgeous gowns, War and Peace is a timeless tale about love and hope that is both gut-punching and heartwarming. And to top it off, it features a star-studded cast that you will definitely recognize, including Dano (The Batman), Jessie Buckley (Wicked Little Letters) and Gillian Anderson (The Crown).
