Wow! Such a good movie.

Dreadfully Boring

It is both painfully honest and laugh-out-loud funny at the same time.

Great show but why do these actors have British accents instead of French? So strange

Despite the good cast and the awsome scenarios, the plot is very weak. Sometimes it seems that some scenes are just truncated, it lacks continuity.

I have no idea what series all these people are watching who are giving this 9's and 10's. The story, the acting, the writing, the terrible French. All of it dreadful.

I think if history were taught with all of the sexual intrigue left in, more of us would pay attention to it. I loved the plotting of this series (I have only seen the first season). I'm sure there are others on here who can tell you what the inaccuracies are, but I'm not too unhappy about the "sexed up" details. Louis XIV had a big old vision for France, and it is satisfying to watch him craft his legacy as a person who thinks he was chosen by God to do it. HA! Who does he think he is, God's gift to man? YES! And to woman! I looked up the number of children this dude fathered from over twenty women and thought--wow--the series may have actually underplayed his affairs. Very fun to watch. It is not ashamed of its decadence. Just go with it!
