In Regency-era London, Daphne Bridgerton, the eldest daughter of an influential family, is supposed to be looking for a husband, but the competition is intense and her desires lie elsewhere...
If you are a fan of gripping historical dramas filled with romance, ambition, and political intrigue, then look no further than "Reign." This captivating series chronicles the life of Mary Stuart, or Mary Queen of Scots, who arrives in France at just 15 years old, betrothed to Prince Francis II. Premiering on October 17, 2013, and concluding after four thrilling seasons in June 2017, "Reign" has captivated audiences with its blend of dramatic storytelling and rich character development. With an ensemble cast led by Adelaide Kane as Mary Stuart, viewers are taken on a journey filled with challenges that resonate even today.
The story begins in a convent where young Mary has spent her childhood hidden away from the dangers lurking outside. Once she arrives at the French court to secure an alliance between Scotland and France through her engagement to Prince Francis, she quickly discovers that court life is anything but safe. The competition for power is fierce, especially from Francis's formidable mother, Catherine de' Medici—played brilliantly by Megan Follows—who will stop at nothing to protect her son’s future. This tension creates a riveting atmosphere that hooks viewers instantly.
One of the highlights of Season 1 is how it sets up not only Mary's personal struggles but also her relationships with those around her—including her handmaidens who have their own romantic aspirations. Characters like Kenna (Caitlin Stasey), Lola (Anna Popplewell), and Greer (Celina Sinden) add layers to the narrative while navigating their dreams within a rigidly structured society. The dynamics among these characters offer both comic relief and poignant moments that enhance emotional investment in their journeys.

2eme saison nulle
I absolutely loved the romance between Anthony and Kate. However I think that the character Eloise was not properly executed as in the first season.
I loved it
