ThiefHott Too much of everything
Nonureva Really Surprised!
Protraph Lack of good storyline.
Fatma Suarez The movie's neither hopeful in contrived ways, nor hopeless in different contrived ways. Somehow it manages to be wonderful
thais_mancini Despite the good cast and the awsome scenarios, the plot is very weak. Sometimes it seems that some scenes are just truncated, it lacks continuity.
bitmap-85826 Most events are far from truth but this serie deserves a 10 only for Versailles itself, you are instantly dropped in the middle of 1600 together with King Luis and his court, ambience, fashion, a great work is done everything is just magnificent!!
brian_pabular Superb cinematography, great character development, and a wonderfully woven plot - can't wait for the third series!! Special credit goes to George Blagden, Tygh Runyan, and Pip Torrens for their gripping performances and the intriguing and complicated characters they portray!
Paul Evans One of those shows it took me some time to get round to watching, but after binge watching Series 1 I have to say it is excellent viewing, I'll agree with other reviewers who highlight there are very definitely historical inaccuracies, the birth of the Queen's baby etc, but they can be overlooked, as the drama is somehow addictive. It is very raunchy, lots of sex scenes, and lots of gay sex scenes, shock horror.The sets and costumes are incredibly lavish, you cannot helped but be wowed by the sheer majesty of the buildings and surroundings, The Palace of Versailles itself almost takes on the role of an extra character, it's so impressive. It is visually always on the money, the filming, music etc, are first rate, utterly faultless.I'm so glad they chose not to put on dodgy French accents, so often spoil historical dramas.George Blagden is an outstanding lead actor, he looks so incredibly different in costume, I think he's wonderful in the role, masses of charisma. So well matched is Alexander Vlahos, who plays his brother, totally suited to the part, fair to say he adds masses of variety to the show.Great to see that Series 3 has been commissioned, meaning plenty of Versailles to come. Great show. 8/10
