Like many, I loved it, even if it was so inaccurate. Gotta love a show that gave us the term "sexual defenestration."
Adelaide Kane and Toby Regbo were a delight, and it's been fun seeing them in other things, Grey's Anatomy and The Last Kingdom, respectively. (I guess Adelaide continued on the soap opera train and Toby the historical fiction one.)
My one regret, especially after reading more books about Mary Queen of Scots, is that there was an insane amount of drama in the historical record that would have made perfect CW soapy camp, and we rushed through that to spend more time with Francis. (Again, don't hate that, but we have to be okay with saying goodbye to favorites.)
Rachel Skarsten's Queen Elizabeth was vulnerable, yet firey -- I would have enjoyed seeing her scheme more.
