Rise of Empires: Ottoman (Netflix) is a historical docudrama that covers one of the most important (but least well-known, at least in the United States) events in the history of both the European and Islamic worlds: the fall of Constantinople and the supplanting of the failing Byzantine Empire with the rising Ottoman Empire, led by the dynamic young leader, Mehmed II.

Empire Games (Netflix) is a new historical docuseries that covers six ancient civilizations: Rome, Greece, Egypt, China, the Celts, and the Aztec. Unlike many shows in this genre, Empire Games focuses primarily upon the political intrigue and influential people at certain historical moments instead of on impactful events such as battles and plagues. Therefore, the show often comes off as gossipy and shallow instead of authoritative and complete.
