Bathing was so infrequent then, even amongst the elites. Oy.
What I'm shocked about is how Europeans known for godlessness, liberalism and immorality with no bounds are shocked! That and that something like this didn't come out 10 years ago!
Courtiers enjoying a mass orgy at Versailles?
Total fiction.
Season 1 can be streamed on Netflix.
My God! How degenerate the BBC has become. This is simply pornography dressed up as a drama.
Goody! What the world needs is more mass-produced porno. Not.
I don’t know why they want to focus on sex. These historical dramas are good without it. It just slows them down. I can’t believe that someone who isn’t already attracted to this genre would tune in just for the sex. I’ve watched “The Tudors”, “The Borgias” and “The Medicis” on Netflicks and liked them all. The did have a little sex but it was soft and generally not gratuitous, and what they did have hurt rather than helped the production by slowing down the narrative.
It certainly would perk up the fund raising drive more than a free PBS tote bag.
It is already available on Netflix and Amazon $.
The BBC got rid of Top Gear for this?
I watched much of it and stopped because of all the pornography. All that does is distract from what could be a really good historical drama. I’d rather see some really good battle scenes than constant copulation, especially homosexual copulation (ick!!).
