In recent years there has been the boom of historical costume series. And thanks to this it must be attributed above all to the serial phenomenon of Bridgerton. Among gift buildings, sumptuous clothes, that atmosphere of a past made of bodices, wide skirts, servitude ready to make the best lift and, more than anything else, fairytale loves and stories that are really existed, the historical series in costume have become an increasingly appreciated type of story and loved by the public. And the streaming platforms, Netflix in the first place, in recent years, have tried to propose more and more titles that would allow the public, to dive into a glorious past, turn among the sumptuous rooms of some ancient palace or participate in dancing dancing to find their future husband. But what are the most beautiful costume series to see on Netflix? Here is our ranking.
The best Netflix series on love
Queen Carlotta
For us, Queen Carlotta is one of the most beautiful Netflix’s romantic series ever, even capable of overcoming a giant like Bridgerton. And this spin-off, in fact, is decidedly more beautiful than the series that acts as a prequel. Telling the story of the characters of the Bridgerton saga before the events present in the Targate Shondaland series, Queen Carlotta gives an unconventional and very modern story about the love that literally leaves without words. A jewel that will move you.

Bridgengeron
If you loved Queen Carlotta but you have not yet seen the series from which it is then you cannot fail to look at the first two seasons of Bridgerton. From Shondaland and the creator Chris Van Dusen, the Bridgergeton series follows the story of the children of the powerful Bridgerton family in their debut in the competitive London marriage market in the age of the regency. Bridgerton is a romantic, scandalous and brilliant series that celebrates the timeless character of friendship, family stories and the search for true love that wins over everything.

Blood, Sex & Royalty
Another series that fully falls among the best historical qualifications in Netlfix costume is Blood, Sex and Royaltythe series that tells the story of Anna Bolena.
