I know what you're thinking it would be so easy to stream Bridgerton
straight after the new Netflix period drama My Brilliant Career. But if you have a Prime Video subscription, try something different instead.

Brilliant Career on Netflix almost a week ago, and I still can't stop
thinking about it.

Based on the 1901 novel of the same name by Miles Franklin, we're introduced to the voracious, outspoken, and self-assured eldest daughter, Sybylla (Philippa Northeast) from Possum Gully (what an incredible name), as she's forced to move into her Grandma's (Anna Chancellor) house to be conditioned for her entry into high society. Convinced that she doesn't want a husband
but instead wants to live life to the fullest and become a published writer in the process Sybylla is a woman before her time. For us in 2026 who yearn for her confidence and creative freedom, that also means she's timeless. Latest Videos From TechRadar Watch full video here:

Now that I'm on the other side of its impeccable six episodes, I feel at
loose ends. To continue the theme, the obvious choice would be to re-watch Bridgerton for more scandalous period drama vibes... but I think this is too easy an option.

If you've also got a Prime Video subscription, however, I have the perfect recommendation for you that you likely haven't seen and one My Brilliant Career actress is also in it.

Alongside both being period dramas, the two are linked by their bashful, zany retellings of a point in history Franklin's own experiences in My Brilliant Career, and the fate of Lady Jane Grey in, well, you can guess.

The latter follows a 16-year-old Jane in an alternate version of Tudor England, where she manages to avoid her real-life nine-day reign and
execution by dealing with the region's magical shape-shifters. She's also forced into marriage... but that's less tragic and more comical.

My Lady Jane was cancelled after one season (baffling considering how well
it was received), but that still makes it a perfect follow-on from My Brilliant Career . Pithy, bright, witty, and full of hilarious subversion, these two shows are like long-lost sisters being reunited for the first time in decades.

If that's not enough, actress Anna Chancellor can be seen in both, playing Grandmother Bossier in My Brilliant Career and Lady Frances in My Lady Jane . I could wax lyrical for hours on end about how much of an exceptional talent Chancellor is, and her irreverent, punchy, and slightly bohemian method of storytelling is ideal for both narratives here.

I literally don't know what you're waiting for when it comes to either
show... in fact, stop reading and start streaming. Today's best Amazon Prime Video deals Amazon Prime Video - Free Trial View at Amazon Follow TechRadar
