9/10
A Binge-worthy fiction inspired by fact!

Warning: Spoilers
Queen Charlotte's extraordinary life has been beautifully brought to life by Shonda Rhimes in this wonderful screenplay that has enough fiction to entertain and enough facts to have one rushing off to Wikipedia to know more.

The brilliant casting has brought to our screen some fine acting that connects us to these amazing characters. India Amarteifo is a spitfire and Corey Mylchreest brought soul to the character of young King George. Their chemistry on screen is brilliant and make this series such a fun watch.

One also appreciates the supporting cast, every single one of them, Brimsly and Reynolds are my personal favorites, their love for each other and their king and queen is endearing.

The interweaving of issues such a race, minority, the struggles of being a widow during this period has been depicted in a way that empowers the strength of a women and I really liked that. The last scene foretelling the birth of Queen Victoria gave me goosebumps.

We have to thank the late Mrs. Jaqueline Avant whose fascination with Queen Charlotte inspired the creation of this series.
