I am really into historical TV shows like "Game of Thrones" or "The Tudors" because I love the costumes and authenticity of these shows - well "GoT" is fantasy but it is still great. But at the moment I am re-watching CBS' "Reign" which follows the young Mary Queen of Scots during her time at the French Court. So as promising as this show sounds its plain awful.
I mean the story is actually as good as other historical shows like the ones mentioned above but what really sucks about this show are the costumes. I dunno if it's because it's an American show and America's history doesn't include the Middle Ages but how the hell can the women on the show wear dresses that look like they come from Fashion Week ( there's actually proof that they do)?!? Short-sleeved, spangled, bling-bling dresses made of sheer fabrics....WTF!?!
The story of the show has it all: love, intrigues, war..all you expect from a show like this but these damn costumes annoy me so much. The men are dressed historically correct so why not do the same with the women? I don't get it. So every time I see that show I could vomit on the screen because of those stupid and ridiculous costumes. Unfortunaltely, I like the story so I keep watching it...
Another thing that is absolutely dumb are the names of the characters...Lady Lola...LOLA!? Are you kidding me??? The show takes place in 1557....who the hell gave that girl that name?!
As a conclusion I can say that this show is a hate'n'love thing but whoever is responsible for the costumes and names should go back to history class and learn some proper stuff about the Middle Ages. Please!?
Have a nice evening! :)
Love, Anni
