Something like -

HBO's Rome
Hell on wheels
Vikings

etc.

ty

Spartacus

Seen it. First serious was hilarious and pretty good. The rest was not as good...

Any more?

Dr. who

there's some travel show idiot abroad or something

Lol @ Karl Pilkington. Seen all of idiot abroad. So funny. But not rlly what I'm looking for.

Boardwalk Empire (doesn't go that far back but it does illustrate the prohibition days) - HBO
The Tudors - (named after the Tudor dynasty, is loosely based upon the reign of King Henry VIII of England) - Showtime
The Borgias (The series follows the rise of the Borgia family to the pinnacle of the Roman Catholic Church and their struggles to maintain their grip on power.) - Showtime

The Borgias is still airing with new episodes.

sorry when I first posted i thought you where looking for historical scenery not the actual premise of the show.

Deadwood and Boardwalk Empire.

Oops, forgot about deadwood. haha. That about exhausts the list of shows to fit that concept before venturing into fantasy and such.
