5/10
Good cast - pity the storyline doesn't live up to it.

Baffled as to the reviews who declare this better than the Bridgerton series. The Queen is one of my favourite characters in Bridgerton and so I looked forward to this series, but have to say what an entirely huge let down. I had to stop it after episode 4, as I found it far too predictable and boring. Yes, it's not based on historical fact, but has turned the subject matter into a sickly "romance despite the obstacles" like Titanic became! Even the timeline is completely out of whack, and I don't just mean historically... Violet is a teen when the Queen marries, a couple of years later she herself marries and starts having kids, thus the later Bridgerton scenes would be around 34 years later, and yet in that time the Queen not only had her fifteen kids, but also her adult granddaughter who herself dies in childbirth... and considering her father was illegally married prior to his marriage to Princess Charlottes mother... No, sorry, but I hope this is a one off. I look forward to season 3 of Bridgerton instead.
