Takes too much liberty in assuming the audience wants to see Louis14 succeed in his corrupt advances. Plot points and character developments are a carbon copy of those seen in The Tudors yet it holds its own originality with a homosexual flair. A 4th season is called for to more eloquently resolve crucial conflicts with balanced justice. Among the most binge worthy cinematic series of its kind I've viewed thus far, hardly as great as its predecessors (namely The Borgias, GoT, Reign, Rome Spartacus and The aforementioned Tudors) yet the most thirst quenching Netflix period piece competitor since.
