Versailles

Not to mention the shove it in their faces literally porn!!

Well I watched some (fell asleep)of the second episode - it doesn't get any better and the Sun King asks his strange brother ' Have you got my Back'- just plain silly.

Yes, I was a bit astounded by the 'have you got my back' comment as well! ?

Haven't watched it yet, just recorded it. However, the comments here are putting me off giving it a try.

I was going to watch it on catch up while doing the ironing this morning, don't think I'll bother now. Woman's hour will have to do.

I liked it when the Sun King asks his brother 'have you got my back'? and at one point calls him 'bro'. I think in general life might be too short to spend time on this silly thing.

Typically French ... all the clothes came off in the first ten minutes, then lots of guts and gore, then surprise black baby! I needed to lie down.

Good costumes but could have done with some hairbrushes?

When I read somewhere that it would have more sex and violence than Game of Thrones I decided it wouldn't be for me.

X certificate Acorn Antiques!!.......now I'd see that!!!

Did anyone else find themselves laughing out loud at times? I'm afraid that I did Miss Wet T-shirt/chemise emerging from the water, Mr Darcey-style, with her clothing clinging to what looked like dressing-up box stick on megaboobs! Then the 'oh the camera's on me I'd better do my best shock/surprise/angry expression'

I tried watching it on Catch Up. Woke up an hour later to the closing credits! Shan't bother again.

I thought it was going to be a rather light, frothy sort of thing, aaaaargh! That torture scene!Nice costumes and scenery mind you.

Didn't even bother to finish watching the first episode it was so awful.

I haven't seen it yet other than a bit that was shown on Gogglebox showing a baby that didn't look very real. Is it a French production?

Tosh (the prog, not your comments)
The French should take lessons from the Beeb on how to do costume drama properly. A propos is which, or not, I did smile at the Euro16 ⚽️ trailer which goes "Liberté, Egalité, Footé"!!

Too much sex and violence for me.
