This version is modern and shows the queens and squables through a modern light. Race diversity may not have been common in the not UK compared to France. Costumes, settings and actions seems to match the period though. I was not bored a minute. The adventures and misadventures were thrilling enough. Maybe it was missing a je ne sais quoi, to link the events in a better flow. We were often surprised at the turn of events and were forced to imagine how they could think in such way and do such things. We had to guess the background. It's a different take that motivate to see other versions of the story and check the history books or documentaries. Plus, Saoirse is a delight to watch.
