Let's face it – "Outlander" is one of the most endearing and popular romantic shows on the air right now, as its original mix of fantasy and romance has proven to be something millions of people have been waiting for.

However, the show has struggled to maintain a balance between its two core elements – historical reenactments and the love lives of its leads – which often leads to stretches of boring episodes that diminish the quality of the show.

Besides, the market for period romances on TV has been quite crowded for a long time, and fans tired of "Outlander " can easily choose the shows that suit their preferences much better.

Here are the 10 best historical romance shows to watch on Amazon Prime:

From ancient Rome to the Italian Renaissance, the shows on this list cover many historical periods, and fans of period drama are sure to find a show that checks all their boxes in terms of historical realism and compelling real-life characters.

Of course, all of the shows mentioned above put romance first and historical accuracy second. However, that doesn't mean that these shows are full of anachronisms and won't appeal to people interested in history.

Even though creating a believable romantic lead was a top priority for the writers, they still made sure that the historical period surrounding them was perfectly recreated!
