10 2018 TV Shows To Watch Instead Of Game Of Thrones

The latest attempt at being the new Game of Thrones, Britannia comes from both Sky Atlantic and Amazon (and the latter have been fairly vocal in wanting their own GoT).

Taking place in AD43, the series will depict the Romans' conquest of Britain, which here is billed as "a mysterious land ruled by wild warrior women and powerful druids who can channel the powerful forces of the underworld."

It's a big budget series with a similar aesthetic to Thrones, a cast of recognisable British faces (including David Morrissey, Kelly Reilly, Mackenzie Crook, and Zoe Wanamaker), and a tinge of fantasy, with the show set to drop later this month (January 18 to be precise).
