Sets are dark, lavish, and lit just right. It's a good story involving historic characters in turmoil, fighting and scheming for control of the throne in an unusual period of formation in Europe. They involve multiple countries, AUS, GER, but the focus is in 1400ad France. Can a strong woman break tradition as a Duchess and rule? Or does she need a man as society and law demands? Have to watch and see. Very informative, good sync w/ captions, well acted by Mary of Burgundy & Maximilian and supporting cast. Fresh and different vibe, as many BBC series- and sex scenes are done well for well adjusted adults... you can almost feel the cold, as battle scenes are foggy, realistic, and scenic. If you dig historic period dramas- This is well worth a watch. Solid series- Recommend.
