I loved the Netflix adaptation. It really shows many aspects of royal family and royalty and not to mention their cruelty.
We didn't know much about the royal family before this series was made. After the series we know things probably some of the incidents are denied by the royal family.
The fact that they are so cruel made me resent the royalty. People like to think royals are like fairy tale stories but they are not and we don't know much about their inside stories.
When people get to that level when they are more than normal people, they become fairy tales it puts pressure on their day to day life too.
This series made me look at them like us like normal people. As royals and as human beings they also made some mistakes. They also make mistakes like us.
Another thing I learnt if someone hampers their normal peace they can hunt down anyone and make their life hell as well. Kinda intimading.
