Alright GAF, my wife and family members are looking for something to watch after Downtown Abbey & A Place to Call Home.

They would like it to have a little more action. Some people have suggested to her Outlander or Poldark. She is not big into nudity due to watching when kids are home. I looked a few up, seems Outlander / Poldark / Turn Washington Spies, and the Gilded Age are all possibilities. Anything else?

Can you recommend or not any of these series? Also anything you recommend, does it need to be bought, or is it on streaming?

Thanks.

There was a short lived victorian action show by Joss Whedon I think on HBO last year.

The Nevers is an American science fiction drama television series created by Joss Whedon for HBO. The series is produced by HBO and Mutant Enemy Productions, with executive producers including Whedon, Philippa Goslett, Doug Petrie, Jane Espenson, Ilene S. Landress, and Bernadette Caulfield. The series premiered on April 11, 2021. The first season consists of 12 episodes, split into two six-episode parts. In December 2022, the series was canceled before the back six had aired and pulled from the HBO Max library on December 18, 2022. All 12 episodes began streaming on Tubi starting February 13, 2023.

I liked Outlander for a couple seasons, but it runs out of steam IMO.

My whole family watched Peaky Blinders together. And that almost never happens.

How about Jonathan Strange and Mr Norrell? It's a period piece but with a fantasy twist. Not sure if this is a benefit or a drawback but it's just seven episodes.

i will look into Peaky Binders. Anyone seen Turn Washington spies, Poldark or anything else not mentioned?

My wife is having surgery and will be laid up for a few weeks.

The Last Kingdom. 5 really strong seasons and a swan song movie to tie a bow on it. My wife turned me onto the show and I’ve already rewatched it once. 91% on RT and 8.5 on IMDB.

Poldark is excellent until the last season. Outlander has a lot of sex scenes so it doesn't seem to her tastes.

Sherlock Holmes videogames by Frogwares.

Outlander is a woman's fantasy smut type of show. So if you wanna get down more often have her watch that

House of the Dragon? It's fantasy, but you could also describe it as faux historical fiction with dragons. Plenty of intrigue and drama and I don't think it has many if any embarassing steamy sex scenes.

 

[GymWolf]

The title is confusing, is gaf or your wife that needs help?

Outlander first season had quite a lot of them (plus male nudity) in the first season. The following seasons were MUCH better in that regard. Really liked the first four seasons.

The Tudors has got some very saucy scenes.

I liked it as a young person for... reasons.

Lol. One of my favourite series. A lot of people didn't like it though. I dont recall them being too saucy or much nudity, well not like Rome or Spartacus or Game Of Thrones etc.

If you merge the Tudors with multiple historical dramas from Lionsgate+, you can actually follow all the history from pre Tudor and beyond, covering off the War of the Roses etc

I didn't know that! Might be my next binge watch.

Yeah I forget the order you need to watch them in. But have look out for The Serpent Queen, Becoming Elizabeth, 2 seasons of The Spanish Princess, The White Queen and The White Princess together with revisiting The Tudors. There's a couple of months viewing and they all interlink historically. I enjoyed the journey.
