If you're going to make an historical series at least get it accurate. I've never seen so much rubbish. It soon devolves from a reasonably good start to a sexed up teen sojourn that has only the thinnest plot to do with Mary Queen of Scots. Typical American bastardised brainless fodder that they churn out to the dullards who rate it a ten. I'm not going point out the glaring mistakes, there's too many and it's all too tedious.
Are there no decent scriptwriters anymore? Can't they bring in technical advisers? Or is it just that the target market is 12 to 15? It could have been a lush production, educational as well as dramatic, with great dialogue and beautiful costuming. But no...Mary and her court wear George at Asda, and there's not a whiff of Tudor to any of it but the set design. Oh, I take that back. Did they have white plastic stand alone baths in Tudor times? Accordingly to this yes.
