A Not So Royal Christmas (2023 TV Movie)
5/10
Mixed feelings
24 December 2023
Warning: Spoilers
There were some parts of this that I liked, in that with royalty stories you can usually guess everything, and some things here I didn't. That said, while I enjoy Kemp and D'Orsay, the movie overall was just okay.

Adam being upset that Charlotte lied to him honestly makes no sense, and he even said why himself (paraphrasing here): "If I was the actual Count, I'd feel betrayed". Precisely! But since you're not, you actually being offended in some way just reads as odd. Sure, Charlotte shouldn't have lied, but his lie (and everyone else's to keep the ruse going) was far more "egregious" in my opinion.

That being the major conflict in the end sort of dampened my enjoyment because the more and more you think about it, the less it makes sense. Skip unless you like the lead actors, because their chemistry is pretty good.
