My current life probably consists of Wattpad and Netflix only. So why not combine these two?

STATUS: Finished [2013-2017]
AGE RATING: 16
GENRE: Historic Drama
WHERE YOU CAN WATCH IT: Netflix
MY OPINION: I have to say that the show positively surprised me from the first episode. Although it is set in medieval times, it is so modern that after a few episodes you don't even notice it anymore and are completely immersed in the time. Whether it is authentic, however, I can not say. xD
I liked the different storylines a lot, you could laugh, cry and sympathize. Since the series is based on the real story of Mary and Francis, I enjoyed researching what actually happened back then and was surprised how much was actually historical. So there is a bit of history lesson in it, even if a lot of it is pure fiction.
The characters themselves I also liked and were quite versatile. However, I could at some of Mary's decisions just hit me the flat hand against the forehead and also at other characters, whereby many scenes were quite frustrating to watch.
In summary: The series is quite an up and down ride of emotions.
BINGE FACTOR: 8/10 There were many parts where it was very exciting and you really wanted to know what would happen next. But overall it was pretty even and there was never a moment where I thought about stop watching the show.
FAVORITE CHARACTERS: Mary Stuart Bash de Poitiers Leith Bayard Francis Valoir
FAVORITE SHIPS: Mary + Bash Lola + Narcisse Claude + Leith
RATING: 8/10
RECOMMENDATION: This show is definitely not merely for medieval fans, but many people will probably get their money's worth here. So if you like intrigue, mystery and tragic love stories, you should like this series a lot!
I am Mary Queen of Scots, and I have come for my throne.
