Reign
- Release date:17 October 2013 (USA)
- Genre:
- Summary:Hidden between the lines of the history books is the story of Mary Stuart, the young woman the world would come to know as Mary, Queen of Scots. Queen of Scotland since she was six days old, the teenage Mary is already a headstrong monarch - beautiful, passionate, and poised at the very beginning of her tumultuous rise to power. Arriving in France with four close friends as her ladies-in-waiting, Mary has been sent to secure Scotland's strategic alliance by formalizing her arranged engagement to the French king's dashing son, Prince Francis. But the match isn't signed and sealed: it depends more on politics, religion and secret agendas than affairs of the heart. Prince Francis is intrigued by the fiery Scot, but like most young men, he resists the idea of settling down into marriage, especially when he has a history with a lady of the court and his own point of view on the wisdom of an alliance with Scotland. Still, an attraction between Mary and Francis is ignited. Further complicating things is Bash, Francis' roguish half-brother, who has a history of his own - despite his illegitimate birth, Bash is his father's favorite. And now that Bash has caught Mary's eye, a royal triangle may be forming. While at French Court, fierce foes and dark forces conspire to sabotage Mary's marriage to Francis and even threaten her life, until a mysterious shrouded guide becomes her ally. With danger and sexual intrigue around every dark castle corner, Mary rallies her ladies-in-waiting and steels herself, ready to rule the new land and balance the demands of her country and her heart.

Wow.. First time in a long while I couldn't even stomach finishing the first episode of a show. This was horrendous. If you're expecting a period drama, think again. It's a glam teen show - they should be at a mall, not the French court. Yuck.

Well you're not wrong... but the way you said it implies Mary Stuart wasn't also an English Queen. There may be a few Jacobites who would contend otherwise.
Maybe they'll get into that on the new season of Reign beginning Monday, April 25th. -
@soso94 no.. Bloody Mary was an English queen, older sister of Elizabeth I, and daughter of King Henry VIII. She got that nickname due to her merciless killing of protestants.

I have grown to hate Queen Mary.

half way though the show i realised that this show could have been really interesting if it had been about Queen Elizabeth I instead of Mary who even in history is kinda of a boring character.

@AdamKelleher, tbh i didn't know that will admit, i don't know much about their period but i am willing to do some research because i want to know more.. but if i'm being honest again, i'd rather have someone just tell it to me or watch it as a documentary...... because i hate digging through pages and reading numerous hours, makes me feel like i'm in detention or something

I hate that they made this about Mary, Queen of Scots. Knowing what will eventually happen to her when she was 45 years old. She will be executed by the virgin queen, Elizabeth the First.

I honestly didn't remember Adelaide Kane from TW either because... Well honestly the lighting is so bad on that show (it's really dark all the time) and I feel like she wore less makeup. Not that she isn't beautiful without make-up because they still do her makeup kinda light and neutral on this show. But she mostly just wasn't in the spotlight as much.

Thanks @IloveNickandDisney I'll give it a go.

@Happypill, yes it is EXTREMELY good because of the plot, not because people flash their tits in it, which they don't.

I love period shows, is this any good? Does Kenna flash her tits because that's all she ever does on Twitter?

This show has twisted history for all of us, and that is what made this a very intriguing series, I LOVE IT! I'm still in the first season but I LOVE IT SO MUCH! And I am glad it has been renewed for a third season! The plot is flawless, the script is well written, this show is everything we've hoped for!
2 years ago
I never want this to end but I'm pretty sure that the series finale will be the execution of Mary, just like in history, due to the order of her cousin and rival, Queen Elizabeth I of England, who I am hoping for will make an appearance in this show! -
Adelaide Kane is amazing! She plays Mary excellently... She was also one of the recurring characters on MTV's Teen Wolf, where she played Cora, and she was a badass and funny at the same time.

I have always been fascinated with mary queen of scots,
and I think her story would lend itself well to a tv show.
But this has nothing to do with her actual life whatsoever. Why didn't they just do the whole thing as fiction? Then they could do whatever they wanted and it could still be great. -
This show needs to be axed!

I wonder how close they will stay to the true history of Mary Queen of Scots? If so a few of these cast members will only have another season or so before they have to die.

I remember when I first saw the trailer for this show before is started up. I was like "yeah I'll watch an episode but I doubt it'll be that great." To be honest I only started watching it because Anna Popplewell played in it. But then I absolutely adored it. and not just cuz of Anna. The whole show is wonderful. But I'm dying to have Bash and Mary together. Seriously, when he proposed to her I was literally sitting alone in my room, laptop in hand, balling my eyes out and I rarely get emotional over something on screen!!

The show has some historical bases, but it is still historical FICTION, so if you get easily upset about things not staying true to history than this show probably isn't for you. I generally get upset when shows bend the truth, but this is a CW show, so I knew going into it that I would be watching for entertainment, not a history lesson. Honestly I'm pretty addicted to the show. The writing if considerably better, than other CW shows. (Vampire Diaries, 90210, ect.) They also space things out, like something can happen in one episode and then it will reflect back several episodes later, instead of it being in the same episode. Also the music on the show is really good. The acting is done very well, however NO one really has the correct accent from where ever they are suppose to be from. That is slightly annoying. But once again historical *fiction*. Also to people commenting saying this is what happened in history so they have to do it on the show, doesn't mean they have to. Mary just getting to marry Francis is boring and won't make good tv. So please keep the word fiction in the back of your mind as you watch this, and enjoy the show for what it is.
Historical Facts. (Possible Spoilers)
-Mary and Francis do get married, at ages 16 and 14, and Francis dies 2 years later (age 16) from an ear infection, they have no children.
-In ep 1 Francis jokes about how a portrait artist made him look short and sickly, when in fact he was a weak stunted child.
-All of Mary's Ladies-in-waiting were named Mary.
-King Henry II did have a younger favored bastard son with a mistress (not Diane) named Henry, that would later be legitimized .
-Despite having a rocky marriage, Henry and Catharine had 10 children together. (only 3 have been shown so far)
-Henrys favorite Mistress, Diane had first been his father mistress and was 20 years older than him.
-Catharine did not like Mary in real life, she was also know for her cunning and large collection of poisons.
-The Marriage between Francis's sister, Elizabeth and Phillip of Spain couldn't have happened in the first episode as he was married to Mary Tudor, and in episode 8 she is still alive. Mary also grew up with Elizabeth and they were best friends.
-Mary was beheaded by Elizabeth I of England at age 44. Her request to be buried in France with Francis was not honored.
I'm sure there are many more facts I have missed -
