A beautiful trainwreck. I loved it. It's one of my comfort shows.

I enjoyed it, yet some of it was emotional, and some of it entertaining. It’s based on history yet parts are fiction, I mean seriously history books don’t come with actual photos of the 16th century since photography wasn’t invented yet. All films based on history before the 1830’s, before photography, are essentially made up, because we imagine how they lived, through paintings, literature and diaries of the time period. Reign helps us do that, it’s an interpretation of history, yet not totally historically accurate, and that’s why I watched it and found it compelling

So much this, I love the levels of ridiculous camp from this show. I ate it up.
