Rise of Empires: Ottoman
Netflix
If you're absolutely vibing the Netflix's commitment to docudramas (we're looking at The Crown) then you'll want to make sure you tune into Rise of Empires: Ottoman. This gem follows the life of Mehmed II during the 15th Century. This guy starts off as a Sultan at the age of 13, conquers Constantinople and then becomes the ultimate ruler of the Ottoman Empire. The best part? It’s narrated by Game of Thrones legend Charles Dance.

Harlots
SBS
The year is 1763, London is the most vibing city in the world where one in five women make their living selling sex and competition is err, stiff.

Total Control

Total Control stars powerhouse actors Rachel Griffiths and Deborah Mailman—that fact alone should be enough of a drawcard.

Not one to rest on her laurels, she’s on a quest to seek redemption and settle a score against the party, and the Prime Minister of Australia.
