Maxima

Firstly, I am really proud to see so many argentinian actors taking part of this. As an argentine, I wanted to know a bit more about her backgrounds, how she grew up and how she got to know Alex.

I feel like during the show the portrayal of Maxima wasnt as exact as I expected it. She was more of a party animal and not as responsible as Maxima was. So that was a bit of a let down for me. The prince was pretty okay, so nothing else to add about it.

I really loved the locations. Some episode were fun to watch, and some a bit dull. So if there is a slight chance of a second season they need to fix that in order to make it more enjoyable and being a bit more loyal to the real story behind it.

Since the passing of QE2 and the abdication of Margarethe .. THE QUEEN IS NOW MAXIMA OF THE NETHERLANDS! Beautiful series , can certainly be compared with the CROWN more realistic and in 5 locations worldwide filmed ! Season 2 is coming. With the new Argentinian star Delphine Chavez who plays Maxima and Sebastian Koch who plays Prince Claus ! It's a serie about royals protocol governments politics and real love, finally we see that children are made in a bedroom and not being brought by the stork! At first it's a bit weird like seeing your parents kiss, but hey the King and queen are humans to ! This serie is before they became king and Queen its Maxima her origin story.

As an Argentine, I was naturally curious about this story. I recently finished watching the final episode, although I wasn't particularly eager to do so. While the narrative seemed accurate, it struggled to deliver a compelling tale, and the timeline felt disorganized. Some actors delivered outstanding performances, such as Mr. Zorreguieta. However, I found the casting of Maxima to be a misstep. Delfina Chaves portrayed her more like a perpetually out of place, hungover party girl, not particularly a classy, responsible financier like Maxima herself . The prince's performance was acceptable, albeit somewhat bland, and their on screen chemistry felt forced. The cinematography was impressive, locations were not real. The quality of the episodes varied significantly , some were engaging, while others were quite dull. Although a second season is planned, I suspect I'll forget about this series within a week.

Just watched the first two epiodes and I am impressed with the cinematography and acting. The palpable love story really translates well on screen, mainly due to the chemistry between the two lead actors. Sebastian Koch also stands out to me, he's charming without drawing a caricature of the late Prince Claus.

One thing that does bug me is how we see Máxima horse riding in the Pampas and getting shooting lessons from her dad back in 1976. The real Máxima was only five years old at the time so I doubt these were her regular weekend activitites at that age. I also think she was much more shielded from politics in 1978, when she was only seven. The idea of the dual timeline (childhood vis a vis late twenties) is interesting but its sloppy excecution is distracting from the storytelling.

First I have to say that this series was great and can't wait for season 2.

I know there are truths, fiction and fabrications in this series.

But we see how people can judge a daughter or son for their parent's or grandparent's misfortunes is not right. Neither when Crown Prince Wilhelm-Alexander (Now King Wilhelm-Alexander) was to get engaged to Máxima Zorreguieta (Now Queen Máxima), nor or in the history of ordinary people and royalty.

We get an insight into how things can turn out for people who may have problems with public opinion.

Delfina Chaves did a great role in this series as Máxima Zorreguieta, and look forward to seeing her portrayal of Máxima Zorreguieta in season 2. There I hope we will see the wedding, and where she became Crown Princess.

Martijn Lakemeier also played a good role as Crown Prince Wilhelm-Alexander, he brought out the thoughtful Wilhelm-Alexander, which we so often see in public.

Elsie de Brauw performed the role of Queen Beatrix (Now Princess Beatrix after she abdicated the throne to Wilhelm-Alexander in 2013). She also brought out the Queen Beatrix that we know in public (although it came out in a private context in this series), caring and loving towards her people (the public) as in private.

Thank you for making a story/serie about the King and Queen of the Netherlands.
