18 Shows to Watch If You Love "Outlander"

The elegant court life of "The Tudors" may be a far cry from how the Frasers and their friends live, but the life-and-death stakes are the same. When "The Tudors" begins, Henry VIII is a vibrant, if reckless, young king determined to expand England's power at any cost. His marriage to his Spanish wife, Catherine, falters as he blames her for their lack of a son, and his determination to father an heir becomes an all-consuming obsession. Like "Outlander," the show follows its characters over years and even decades, covering major historical events as well as the personal lives of its main characters.
