While 'Outlander' has set the bar high with its blend of steamy romance and time-traveling drama, making it a sort of gold standard in the realm of historical series, there's a treasure trove of mini-series out there that don't just reach this bar, but vault over it with room to spare.

These 10 historical mini-series might not bring the heat in quite the same way 'Outlander ' does – let's face it, few can match its level of steam – but where they really shine is in their rich tapestry of historical storytelling, blending facts with fiction in a way that doesn't just entertain, but educates and engrosses.

Each of these series is like watching a history book coming to life; the stories told here are as deeply rooted in their respective eras as they are captivating, and it's that kind of attention to detail and character depth that turns a simple story into an immersive journey through the past.

So while they might not have 'Outlander's' knack for fogging up your TV screen, these mini-series compensate by transporting you to different times and places with such authenticity and flair, you're left not just entertained, but feeling a bit like you've walked the cobblestone streets and breathed the air of a time long gone.
