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

Take the sweeping camera shots and political warfare of Game of Thrones and add in some real history, and you've got Marco Polo. The historical series is a fictionalization of the real-life explorer's adventures in the court of Kublai Khan in 13th-century Mongolia, where he finds himself embedded in sophisticated political power plays and dangerous wars. GOT fans will definitely be intrigued by the constantly shifting alliances, doomed romances, and big battles that are loosely (sometimes very loosely) adapted from the memoirs of one of history's most famous explorers of all time. If you're looking for a series that delivers on adventure, this could be the one.
