8/10
The show shouldn't have been cancelled!

"Versailles" describes the story and the ascension to power of king Louis XIV and also the construction and development of the palace of Versailles, which is a real form of legacy of king Louis XIV. This show represents the quality of life at the court, with all of its flaws and its qualities, a place where treason, corruption and injustice thrives. I don't really know if the show is 100% accurate, but as far as I can say, I have been extremely fascinated by it. Even if the life of that era has been harsh and unforgiving, the show is produced in such a manner that it will only make you to desire to spend some of your time there. The whole atmosphere, which is accompanied by the wonderful landscapes, makes of "Versailles" a dream, exactly what king Louis XIV had in mind.

From the perspective of acting, I have no complaints here either. I've never met for a long time such a level of acting, which is so impecable and so good. If the acting wouldn't have been so good, then surely the show would have been rated lower.

Apart from the fact that I would have loved to see at least a glimpse of the battlefield of the king and Duke of Orania's war and despite the fact that the show has been cancelled, it still makes of "Versailles" a must-see, especially if you are interested by France's history.
