I didn't expect it to be bad, but I didn't expect it to be this good either. I thought it might be basic and unoriginal, but I was pleasantly surprised!
The story was just beautiful. It's about a prince who has to go to a boarding school, where he falls in love with a boy. He has to chose between love and his obligations. This is well written and touching.
The acting is good too, very good! Especially Edvin Ryding did a really great job. It felt real and it was emotional. The two main characters also have a lot of tension, what makes you get lost in the story and forget about reality for a while.
The characters are not basic or based on characters of other shows, they're their own unique person. They also have realistic behaviour for a teenager.
The whole plot is just realistic and the way they interact is relatable. This is a thing that bothers me a lot in other shows: unrealistic lives of teenagers. So I'm really glad that wasn't the case here.
I don't give a 10 out of 10 very easily, but while writing this review I realised I have nothing to remark about this show. It's perfect and I recommend it to anyone!
Update: the second season is even better!
The plot of Young Royals sounds so incredibly ridiculous. When I started watching the series, I expected something very enjoyable, but also very stupid. I thought it was gonna be like 'Red, White & Royal Blue'. Who the hell even makes stories about a prince falling in love with another boy. Well, these creators did, and I'm glad! The execution was just perfect! It wasn't stupid and ridiculous like I thought it would be. It's not like the other Netflix shows that are focussed more on the costumes and decors than on the actual story. This is so simple, yet so complicated.
Watching the second season I realised even more how good this is. You can see they didn't come up with the second season after finishing the first one, but that the see everything as a whole. I couldn't name one bad thing, everything is amazing!
