It's not just Netflix that's in on a game of some serious quality period drama.

On Prime, there's this collection of 10 period dramas that are like time machines, each show a different ticket back in time, away from the modern world's hustle and into realms woven with the threads of the past.

You've got everything from the lively, jazzy rhythms of 1950s New York, where every corner turned is a new story, to the stately and often scandalous halls of the English court, where royal intrigue unfolds like a well-played game of chess.

These series have a way of pulling you into their worlds so completely, you can almost hear the clatter of horse-drawn carriages or feel the rustle of silk gowns against your skin, perfect for those moments when you've binged all of Bridgerton and are itching for more stories that blend historical richness with dramatic flair.

They're like walking into a painting where every detail, from the cobbled streets to the candle-lit ballrooms, is a brushstroke of a time gone by, offering an escape to a world where the past isn't just a chapter in a history book, but a living, breathing reality right on your screen.
