"I am loving this. I'm also watching Reign on the CW, so it's an interesting comparison.
Update: now that I've finished this, I definitely recommend it. I've always had a fascination with historic courts of Europe and this one is exceedingly interesting."

"Just finished the first season. A bit edgy for a historical show but definitely upbeat and intriguing. Great way to learn parts of French medieval history. Ties into Reign. Same figures. "

"It is different than I expected. I thought it would be more like The Tudors from Showtime. It is NOT! But I ended up really liking it! More of a comedy-drama"
