Visually beautiful. Although not historical accurate, it is fun to watch. I could enjoy it more if Google Play Movies and TV would provide subtitles CC as I miss about 40% of what the characters are saying due to a hearing impairment (even with a hearing aid).

You do get interested, but I can't quite get used to the overacting and historical inaccuracies. Prefer BBC where sex doesn't become centre of everything and history is given a fair place.Close, but no cigar.

An absolutely amazing series Ive enjoyed every minute, the 4 main male charachters were simply made for these roles. I cannot believe they have cancelled season 4, if I had the money I would financw it myself or people could get together and raise the money for season 4 it's to good to stop now.I love Alexander Vlahos as Philippe De Leon, George Blagden played a great Louis xiv, Thye Runnyan was excellant as head of Police & Evan Williams was great as the background sceamer & unlikely hero.
