Versailles

This series is fantastic! Did anyone notice king Louie XIV is "Athelstan" from Vikings?

I binged this entire show way faster than I should've. I put this on while I would work, and it was a good choice because I could walk away from this show for ten minutes, come back, and not miss a single thing. I could have probably even skipped a whole episode and not even realize it. It's slow, it's boring, and it's dumb. But man if it ain't pretty to look at. The production design and costume design are off the CHARTS. I love Versailles and it was super cool to see this shot on the actual location. Plot-wise though, it's severely lacking. After the first season, they throw history books out the window. Even during the first season, characters make choices and decisions that aren't backed by anything, like the writers just made them do or say something to get a little excitement going. "But why did you binge all three seasons if it's so bad--" Ssshhhh. Let me live with my poor decisions.
