Based on Diana Gabaldon’s best selling series “Outlander,” this underrated show is filled with action and adventure similar to that of “Game of Thrones.” After two successful seasons on Starz cable network, the program’s third season will premiere on April 1.

The story follows the tale of a former British Army nurse in World War II who is transported to 1743 while vacationing in Scotland with her husband. With less gore and nudity, more conservative GoT viewers will be pleased with this show that takes place in a similar setting of old castles and feuding groups.

“Vikings”

Taking place in medieval Scandinavia, “Vikings” tells the tale of Ragnar Lothbrok, a farmer who ultimately becomes the king of Denmark. The recently released second half of the fourth season in late November is being aired on the History cable Network on Wednesdays at 9.

Its captivating storyline focuses on Lothbrok’s journey to expand his clan’s land west and defend his supremacy against rivals is tamer than GoT but still contains plot and character development that will make you pull for characters you initially disapproved of, similar to GoT.
