Who would I recommend this to?
People who like their historical dramas to be historically inaccurate but very dramatic. Gossip Girl fans.

What is this about?
Mary Queen of Scots versus Queen Elizabeth of England, and random other plots.

When would be a good time to watch this?
Now, if you haven't seen it before. Lockdown would have been a good time too.

Where does it take place?
France and England and finally Scotland.

Why did I decide to watch this?
I watched it when it originally aired because the dresses. And it looked like historical Gossip Girl.

How did I like this?
It started out much better than Season 3, but it did feel like they ran out of new conflicts since they keep bringing in new characters to fill in the holes. Characters that I have no reason to care about because it's already the end. Like, am I suppose to want Darnley to be with Mary? Or do I want him to have his true love? Do I care? No, because who is he?! By the end I was just irritated with the back and forth. Off with his head! Problem solved.

Narcisse continues to be the most interesting character, and I'm surprised he lasted this long. That man can get out of anything. And with Catherine at his side, he's unstoppable. I was still hoping for them to kill off everyone and rule all three countries themselves. Maybe thrown in Spain for fun as well.

The final two episodes did ramp up the drama and the tension again, but....meh.

How did I like this?
I had originally stopped watching at some point during this season. It wasn't the show necessarily; I just lost interest in watching TV, period. But...this season had the weakest start. Just put Catherine and Narcisse on the throne! That is a power couple right there! And the only characters I actually care about. Villains, of course.

The highlight of this season was the sex horse gone wrong. Those episodes were so ridiculous and reminded me why I loved the show so much at the beginning. Unfortunately, it all goes downhill from there. I literally do not care about Bash. I literally do not care about Elizabeth. I barely care about Mary. Just give me more Catherine, Narcisse, Claude, and bring back Kenna!

Who would I recommend this to?
People who like their historical dramas to be historically inaccurate but very dramatic. Gossip Girl fans.

What is this about?
Mary Queen of Scots' new marriage to King Francis and other political intrigue.

When would be a good time to watch this?
Now, if you haven't seen it before. Lockdown would have been a good time too.

Where does it take place?
France.

Why did I decide to watch this?
I watched it when it originally aired because the dresses. And it looked like historical Gossip Girl.

How did I like this?
I remembered exactly nothing from this season at all. It's a lot of politics, procreation, and the return of the paranormal. I do wish the paranormal had been stronger. It's a fun twist for this already dramatized account of events.

I do miss King Henry though. Bash has made Kenna boringly domestic and I was so sick of him.

The focus has moved away from Mary and Francis a bit, but not all of the characters are that compelling. I do love Narcise and Claude though.

How did I like this?
I was so addicted to this when it was first on. It was so dramatic and over-the-top and OMG the costuming! The outfits are soooo inaccurate, but I loved how they dressed up stuff from the mall.

Watching it now, I had forgotten nearly everything so I was immediately hooked back in! I'm still 100% here for Kenna and King Henry. At least until...ya know.
