- This list gives my recommendation of the top 10 best international historical tv shows you need to watch. All of these historical shows and medieval shows are amazing and they all are non english historical tv series. These historical tv series should be available with English subtitles but should give viewers a chance to watch incredible international historic tv shows and international medieval tv shows. So if you are looking for foreign historical tv shows or historical tv series from around the world this list is perfect for you !
No one could beat "Resurrection Ertugrul". It is too much mysterious and incredible than others...
yes it is a very good show!
This is my first time seeing your channel and I absolutely love it!! Your channel is perfect for me. I cannot tell you how much time I spend searching for historical and period TV series, especially international. Thank you so much for all the hard work you do for this channel. I love studying all types of history and in the past few years I’ve discovered so many wonderful series across the globe, so you can imagine how excited I am to have found this channel. Thank you!!
thank you, i am glad you have been enjoying the channel and i hope you find lots of new historical movies and tv shows :)
El Cid and Ertogrul are great shows...I had a great time watching them, and I love them both. Barbarians is pretty good too.
yes, i would recommend u watch My Country a New Age next as it seems u dont mind watching shows with subtitles
@@HistorySpark I will, Thanks.
Great point. For the past few years, I've had so low expectations from Hollywood "historical" shows, that I can't even bother to even watch them anymore.
Yup, Netflix and amazon prime have actually really helped make international shows much more accessible
It would help if you added a list of the shows you have reviewed in this video. It make it MUCH easier for people to then find and watch them rather than having to pick through the video..
you should definitly watch SIN LIMITES (6 episodes about Magellan's voyage), LA PESTE (2 seasons of 6 episodes each about the plague in Seville, Spain) and CONQUISTADORES ADVENDUM (8 episodes about the first 30 years after the discovery of the Americas), and one of the best historical movies, not a series, Alatriste! (although there's also a series called Alatriste but I didn't watch it yet)
I would suggest The Chosen for it's Historical Accuracy showing us the in and outs of First BC living in a time of Roman Occupation as a dynamic teacher begins his rounds.
I feel like Magnificent Century and Magnificent Century: Kosem are missing here. On the other hand I can't figure out where I can watch Dirilus Etrugal, because I have wanted to.
Ertugrul is on Netflix at least in America
@@GrinMonister loved Ertugral, all 120 ish episodes!
I just finished watching the last episode of MC- Kosem. The whole summer I watched both series. I consider both to be a masterpiece. And that's what brings me here today- I'm looking for a new historical series to watch.
@@selecttravelvacations7472 there's 500 episodes
Check out series about Isabella of Spain, in Spanish. Forget exact title but it was really good. I think its just called Isabella. Spanish subtitles move really fast! Whew!
yes, it is a great show i have seen a few episodes of it, more historically accurate than most other shows if i remember correctly
Rise of Empires was fabulous. Did you watch the second series the Vlad Dracul’s rebellion against Mehmet II
yes i did, i preferred season 1 but season 2 was really good as well, its a shame how they kind of rushed draculas ending quite a bit tho
Could you list all the shows so when you do these videos I have trouble remembering the titles and all by the end of it and all. I'd really appreciate it a lot of these shows you show look really Great and I would definitely like to see them.
Completely agree about international films.
No Kings War (aka The Legend of Chu and Han)?
I’ve also been getting into foreign historical cinema lately. Americans just don’t seem to care about historical cinema like some other countries do.
The only show I’ve watched on your list was El Cid, and I thought it was pretty good. I was very happy with the historical background of the show. They did a good job setting the scene of 11th century iberia. They mention and show several historically accurate battles, sieges, kings, and queens. I’m not a huge fan of the actor playing El Cid, nor am I a huge fan of the way they did the females of the show, but on the whole I thought it was well worth watching. Not too many shows out there focusing on the early reconquista.
Yea El CID was better than I was expecting but yea the acting is not the best but I think the guy playing El CID does a decent job. If you have Netflix I would recommend watching My Country next !
How's the fashion in El Cid?
Most medieval series are really inconsistent with clothing styles.
The Chinese real Historical series are the most I enjoyed.
1- Qin Empire (3 parts)
2- Kings' War
3- the 3 Kingdoms ( the best ever) based onnthe romance of the 3 kingdoms
Thanks for the recommendations, I'll be sure to check them out
@@HistorySpark hope You will like it :)
On what platform can we watch 3 Kingdoms? I’ve been wanting to, but I don’t know how (besides low-res on RUclips).
@@jamesgordley5000 Hi, I watched it from years on "mbc action" comparing to all the chinese series, it is the best
Also ruyis royal love in the palace is so good
What is no 7 ?
I have watched all of these.
Could you possibly tweak the settings on your videos, the lighting is really dark, it's like watching with sunglasses on 😎
Ottoman îs a great show
Yes it is,would love to see a second season of it
@@HistorySpark where is magnificent century and magnificent century:kosem!?
Fadu show 😂
Where is no.6?
Kingdom isn't a historical show. It is purely fictional, other shows might be based and have some fact behind it but Kingdom doesn't.
Example, Yanxi palace, they were real people who existed, the Emperor etc. (one of my all time fav c-drama)
and My Country, k-drama which I didn't expect to be on this list (personally not my choice)
but Kingdom, kings and prince. extras, characters etc are all Fictional. even time period is mixed and mashed.
I would go with Six Flying Dragons, K-drama which was a big hit, and is very historical in characters and big plot. (it is virtually same time period as My Country yet
is rated one of the best by koreans and internationally)
Please say the names of the shows/movie slower & leave name on screen longer. Thank you.
thanks for the feedback, i will incorporate your feedback and leave the name of the show in the video clips for a little while as well
Arthadal chronicles missing here
that is a fantasy show no?
Wouldn't it better if you guys can include some of the videos downloading link?
we can link to some affiliate links on where you can buy these blu rays not sure where u can download them from
Magnificent Century is not in the list?
Thanks
your welcome !
Magnificent century? Wounded love?
I agree with your selection. I have not seen the 500 ep. show...don’t think I could sit thru that many.
Kdrama and Cdrama are my fav.
it is a very very slow show but it is still really interesting tho, just not something i think many people in the west are use too. Maybe give it a try for a few episodes and see what u think
I used to like Korean tv series, but after watching the Alchemy of Soul both 1 and 2, I lost my appetite for it. It's ok if the scriptwriters to kill one of the main character but to replace it with another person with storyline that's too shallow, was for me the last straw. It seems they will try to poke where it will gets the highest rating by compromising the storyline. I've endured the endless flashbacks as can be seen on Korean series even its already redundant, but replacing then not making clear if that main character is dead or what for the next series or not is just the big turn off. no more Korean tv series for me at this time😂🤣🤣
Where is Shaka Zulu?
Bride of War. True story of a Welsh soldier captured in France and who escapes in Poland and joins the partisans. In Welsh, English, German, French and Polish.
Thanks for the recommendation, I will keep an eye out for the film
Check Slave hunters and six dragons . Great South Korean dramas
Uyanis: Büyük Selcuklu????
I am sick and tired of people being shoved into historical dramas to be woke. Instead of this make shows about different cultures instead of only western with wrong people. Eg Netflix is doing a Greek god show with British Zeus and black posiden
Yes I have mentioned this a couple of times on this channel, especially at how disappointed I was with vikings Valhalla ruining the whole show by focusing on being woke rather than history
Love ertugrul yes and the rise of ottomans
I really enjoyed barbarians
yes, its great cant wait for season 2!
@@HistorySpark
Did you watch that crap? (season 2)
@@blueeyed5074 yes i did and what a turd it was, i cant believe how bad season 2 was went full woke unfortunately
@@HistorySpark
Absolutely.
I was surprised, because I thought that the virus is only in the US :))
+It wasn't historically accurate.
Second … well, third really 😆🤣
Haha second is good as well
awesome....I will watch...I can't take any more western wokenesssss....
i am sorry ik i am 2 years late to the video. but you starting the video with the claim "historical accuracy" and then adding the Ertugrul show into the video is comically ironic. Dont get me wrong as a fiction show loosely based on history it has a "great" storyline (i would argue it is repetitive and for a lack of a better term goofy at most times). but it has FAR to do with historic accuracy. Timelines dont make sense. made up villain's and hero's, which for reference are EXTREMELY important in the storyline of the show. Rewriting of history and the most goofy sword fighting ever witnessed. A great fiction piece. Should never be mentioned in a video claiming "historical accuracy". Especially considering you mention a very well made and 90 percent accurate show right after it ALSO made by Turkish makers
