The Royals had so much potential. With such a beautiful setup, a talented cast, and that dreamy royal vibeโit really couldโve been something magical. But somewhere in the first few episodes, the connection just didnโt click for me.
The character transitions felt rushedโespecially Avirajโs. His actions were confusing, and the emotional shifts didnโt feel earned. Some relationships started off one way and completely flipped later, without giving us time to process it. I genuinely felt like the first half and second half belonged to two different shows.
That said, Iโm glad I stuck with it. The last few episodes had moments that truly pulled me in. The performancesโespecially Bhumi and Ishaanโsโfelt more grounded and sincere by the end. There was emotion, there was charm, and some scenes actually stayed with me.
Itโs not perfect, but it has its moments. I just wish the storytelling had been as strong as the cast and the concept. Still, if youโre into royals, relationships, and a little bit of chaosโit might just be your next binge.
