30 Shows Like Game of Thrones That Will Make You Want to Bend the Knee

If it's the scheming Lannisters who kept you glued to the TV, then The Borgias should be your next watch. There's no sorcery, dragons, or other mythological creatures in this historical drama — just a super powerful, morally questionable family who rule Renaissance-era Italy through a ruthless combination of betrayal, violence, extortion, and just the right amount of charm. The Borgias were a real family, about whom history has told a lot of stories — some true, some definitely exaggerated, and some so wild you'd think they were legends, but are actually true. The ruthless and cunning political prowess on this show will certainly remind you of GOT.
