10 2018 TV Shows To Watch Instead Of Game Of Thrones

7. Outlander

Outlander TV
Starz

Based on a popular book series, with a period setting, violence, romance, and time travel, there's a lot to place Outlander on the same fantasy scale as Game of Thrones, even if it's towards the opposite end.

The Starz series, which has aired three seasons (available on Prime) with a fourth on the way, centres on Claire, a nurse during WWII who gets teleported back to Scotland in 1743 and become embroiled in the Jacobite risings.

It's a nice blend of different genres, such as historical fiction and sci-fi, with characters and plots worthy of your time and a heavy dose of fantasy and plenty of romance to go with it.
