Rome (2005)
8.7/10on IMDb
First aired
The end of the Roman Republic becomes an argument about who can turn a public institution into personal power. Soldiers and households connect the famous political figures to the consequences of their decisions. Choose it for Game of Thrones' shifting alliances and intimate manoeuvring, with historical fiction supplying the framework instead of prophecy.

Black Sails (2014)
8.2/10on IMDb
First aired
Nassau's pirates need money, legitimacy and alliances as much as they need ships. The connection to Game of Thrones is the struggle to decide who gets to define a territory and tell its official story. Its early episodes take time to build the factions, but the four-season journey rewards investment in the people behind the competing versions.

The Serpent Queen (2022)
7.7/10on IMDb
First aired
Catherine de' Medici learns how to survive at a French court where marriage offers status without dependable security. Samantha Morton's sharp, knowing presence makes this a less obvious route into Game of Thrones-style political calculation. The irreverent delivery is part of its appeal; cancellation after two seasons curtailed the longer historical journey.

The Last Kingdom (2015)
8.5/10on IMDb
First aired
Uhtred's loyalties sit awkwardly between the people who raised him and the kingdoms claiming his service. It offers the personal cost of allegiance and the practical problem of holding territory that make Game of Thrones' politics compelling. Five seasons carry the main series, with Seven Kings Must Die providing a separate concluding film.

Vikings (2013)
8.5/10on IMDb
First aired
Ragnar's ambitions expand into a saga about rulers, heirs and the consequences of treating exploration as destiny. Choose it for the way family bonds become political liabilities as the world grows. It is a myth-inflected historical drama rather than a reliable record, with stylised battles and religious conflict doing much of the emotional work.

The Expanse (2015)
8.5/10on IMDb
First aired
Earth, Mars and the Belt occupy different positions in a system where resources and distance determine power. Its Game of Thrones connection is structural: an ensemble's local choices can alter negotiations between entire populations. Six seasons resolve a major political phase, while parts of the larger speculative story remain outside the television adaptation.

Domina (2021)
7.3/10on IMDb
First aired
Livia Drusilla's position in the ruling family makes a marriage, an heir or an apparently private conversation a political instrument. This less obvious Roman drama is useful for the Game of Thrones viewer most interested in the work of securing a dynasty. It offers two seasons of manoeuvring rather than a complete account of Livia's life.

The Wheel of Time (2021)
7.2/10on IMDb
First aired
A group of young people becomes entangled in prophecy while powerful institutions disagree about who should control the outcome. This is the alternative for Game of Thrones viewers who want an expansive fantasy ensemble and magic as well as politics. The pace and emphasis differ, and its cancellation after three seasons left the larger adaptation unfinished.

Shōgun (2024)
8.6/10on IMDb
First aired
The 2024 series places competing rulers, translators and an outsider inside a struggle for power in Japan around 1600. Predominantly Japanese dialogue makes the work of interpretation part of the tension. Choose it for Game of Thrones' attention to what a public gesture conceals and how a seemingly small concession can reshape an alliance.

Kingdom (2019)
8.3/10on IMDb
First aired
A Korean crown prince investigates a threat that a compromised royal court cannot separate from its own succession struggle. The 2019 Korean-language series connects Game of Thrones' dynastic stakes with fast-moving horror and the politics of hunger. Its bursts of action are much more concentrated, with graphic violence and an expanding supernatural story.
