Reign is a historical fantasy-romance drama series that follows the life of Mary, Queen of Scots, from her arrival at the 16th-century French Court to her rise to power amidst political intrigue, court alliances, and forbidden romance. The show centers on Mary’s efforts to navigate the treacherous French Court, forge strategic alliances, and balance the demands of her country with her personal life, including a love triangle with Prince Francis and his half-brother, Bash.

The series is set in the late 16th-century and depicts the French Court. Mary, a headstrong young queen, arrives in France with her ladies-in-waiting to secure a political marriage to Prince Francis. The story features a significant love triangle involving Mary, Francis, and his illegitimate half-brother Bash.

Mary faces many challenges in Court, including political maneuvering hidden enemies, and power struggles as she tries to secure her position. While drawing from historical events, the prioritizes drama and suspense over strict historical accuracy.

This show is a wonderful show, and I would recommend it if you are interested history, romance, fantasy, and/or drama. There are only four seasons, and it has a cliffhanger!  The cliffhanger might disappoint you because you probably might wish it wasn’t over, but I definitely would watch it if I were you!
