I love the way she tells her story and can’t wait for the next chapter!

The directing/fourth wall stuff is clearly marmite, but if you don't hate it, this will be a brilliant watch.

Historical drama about Queen Catherine de Medici. If you liked White Queen, White Princess, or Spanish Princess, you'll like this one too.

I enjoyed the dark/twisted humor of this show. The acting was subpar, but overall worth a watch when you've ran out of things.

Enjoyed the portrayal of the characters & stories (minus Mary lol). Solid production value & worth a binge watch. Excited for s2. 8.5/10

Different kind of period drama but really enjoyable. And great performances

Smart, biting moments, but uneven overall. Court intrigue works; pacing slows and some twists feel a bit forced by midseason.

It’s on Prime (Season 1) then when you want to watch S2, you need to subscribe to STARZ!! Too bad, good series although a little gory.

I have a hard time with modern retelling of historical stories. I'd rather it be an interesting and intriguing period piece. This was eh

Really good fun, loved the characters.
