I am really enjoying this series, and with only two episodes left to go in the season, I am so glad to hear there will be a season 2. I love the intrigue of the court, the acting is great, as are the costumes and sets.
I know this is entertainment, so some playing around with the 'facts' is to be expected, but the PC that has the King's doctor being a woman is unnecessary, in my opinion.

The characters are amazing.

Yes. I especially love the Henriette character, and her (sometimes awful) husband, Phillipe.

This is sooo much better than The Tudors.

I loved this too. But, it is historically VERY inaccurate. Doesn't get in the way of telling a good story, however. The court of Versailles was a filthy place, disease ridden, excrement in the corridors, etc. This version paints a very interesting picture, and entirely wrong.

but I don't think anyone would want to watch a show with excrement all over the place.

[filthy place, disease ridden, excrement in the corridors]May be at the time of Marie Antoinette. At the time of Louis XIV it was stil emerging from his dreams, poetically speaking.
shareI agree. I wasnt happy they got rid of Henriette so early in the show, especially since she bore her husband three children. Would have made for some interesting complications.
shareLove this show too!!! Philippe is one of my favs!!
Frankly my dear, I don't give a damn!
