Firstly I must state I have only seen part 1 of an apparent 5 part series.
And I am glad I did. I have great interest in this period of history and - told by the French - in French - made it all the more enjoyable.
The production is sublime with modern ... improvements like the lighting in castles sometimes obviously artificial (ie: not mere torches) and some racy female costumes (for the period).
The acting was excellent and includes long time favorites like Gerard - and the actress that plays Queen Isabelle is so pretty.
Generally this story is based on fact.
Unless part 2 is awful (doubtful) I am hooked already.
Recommended!
