could have been great, lots of stunning costumes, sets and intrigue but it flatlined for a while, the romance wasn't very romancy, the king's death lasted FOREVER like fam just peace out some janky dialogue, and for some reason half of what was said was omitted in the subtitles, although I did enjoy people speaking over each other and the intense italian french accent by Catherine de Medici it felt overall brilliantly crafted and somehow believably historical would I recommend it? to history or court intrigue fans certainly
