After a long day's writing there is nothing better than a box set marathon. I've been held to ransom by Reign, which is loosely based on the early life of Mary Queen of Scots and her time in France.
I say loosely because it is so historically inaccurate as to be laughable. The story lines are far fetched; the costumes are gorgeous but they are modern interpretations rather than being authentic to the time period; paganism is inaccurately sensationalized as a blood cult...there's so much artistic licence it really has nothing to do with history at all! But I love it.
The sets are sumptuous, the magical undertones are intriguing, the modern music just seems to fit and the crazy story arc is vastly entertaining. The four seasons of Reign are my latest guilty pleasure. Long may she reign? Or off with her head? Who knows?With this show, it really could go either way! Time for another episode then...
