Some historical shows I love or have watched recently. The first two should be on Netflix, not sure about the other two.
Marco Polo, as mentioned above.
Spartacus: This is the show my username comes from! Four seasons (or three full seasons + a prequel mini-series), don't let the first season put you off. Ancient Rome, with gladiators and rebellion. Great costumes, bi and gay representation, POC, some great story lines. Graphic violence and sex, lots of nudity. Every trigger warning you can think of applies. Oh, and Lucy Lawless and John Hannah are in it.
Harlots: About sex workers in 18th century London. Two seasons are out, with a third in production. LGB and POC rep. It's very very very good.
Vanity Fair: Regency England, one season. I watched this recently and it was interesting. The main character has so many negative traits but you can't help liking her.
