This series recently wrapped at its 22nd episode after being on US CW Network for months . Though far from being historically accurate, Reign kept faith to the gist of the true history of Queen Mary Stuart and her life at the French court, as the betrothed of Prince Francis, Dauphin of France. The two royals were actually married for one year, until he died very young of an infection.
It is a smart series that winkles at teenage and young audiences with captivating photography, a somewhat-anachronistic soundtrack, doll-faced actors and actresses, intriguing love stories and a bit of sex, supernatural events and magic, wicked villains and gorgeous costumes. I am definitely not intended demographic, but I liked it, anyhow. Well acted and well written, the show caught me at first sight.
