10 TV Shows To Watch If You Loved Game Of Thrones
1. Outlander
Based on Diana Gabaldon's books, Outlander seamlessly mixes history, romance, drama, and violence together - all while traveling through time and space. The show begins in the 1940s and follows Claire, who, after touching a magic rock, finds herself in 1973 Scotland. Smart and scrappy, Claire settles in with Clan Mackenzie and eventually falls in love.
At face value, this highly acclaimed time-bending love story may not seem all that similar to Game of Thrones, but hear me out. Outlander's appeal stems from its character development, rich visuals, and expertly woven plotlines. Sound more familiar now?
Similarly rich in source material, the Starz saga also packs each episode with important events that lead to the most unexpected plot twists. There's also swashbuckling for the Iron Born fans, a sprinkling of fantasy for Team Targaryen, unrequited love for all you Baratheon bannermen, and heartwrenching deaths for...well...just George R. R. Martin really.
While the stories are entirely unique, they do share the incredible ability to seamlessly weave fantasy into reality while never skimping on character development - making Outlander one seriously addicting series and the perfect followup to Game of Thrones.
