I am thinking something in a similar vein--historical fiction genre.
I have heard that "Upstairs, Downstairs" is good, and Season 1 is on Netflix
Any other good series? (we already watch "Spartacus" and "Game of Thrones")
Good suggestions so far. Yes, I HAVE seen "The Tudors" -- probably the BEST historical docu-drama ever!!
Tudors is on netflix
Black Adder is hilarious
North & South is touching
Jane Austin is always good
Sharpe's ______ (Rifles, Sword, etc.) could have been done much better, but is decent
I've been dying to see The 39 Steps (remake w/ rupert penry-jones) but it's not streamable
We have similar taste in tv programming. You might like the Hour if you have not already checked it out. Game of thrones season 2 starts soon!
rome! boy, they did a good job with that.

Either rent from Blockbuster, or netflix The Tudors? (Season 4 is about to end in a couple weeks, I think?) Surprisingly (very) accurate (we're history nerds) and very interesting the way they put it all together. One of the best shows I've seen on TV-BUT-not really for those who feel uncomfortable with breasts or sexual situations.
Amazing Race started this past Sunday, and we always love that show.
I like to watch the older series of the same genre too, North and South and Middlemarch are great little series. More suggestions here:

We enjoyed the Tudors as well. We watch "Once Upon a Time" and really enjoy that. Not historical, per se, but transports you into a different world. We also enjoy True Blood and Dexter.
How about Robin Hood from bbc?
