Marie de Bourgogne et Maximilien

Costumes are fantastic. Locations are fantastic. Casting is fantastic. Acting is really good. Period is wonderful, too few movies from the rennaisance. That it is made of German history is super good. Story is good. The people in history depicted are super interesting. And political correctness is kept in check.

However. Storytelling is extremely inefficient. Every scene is more than twice as long as it needs to be. This series can take 10 minutes to just say person x sent a letter to person y. I am watching this on my computer so I can fix it by setting speed to x 2. But its really a shame since everything else with this miniseries is so good.

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.

Quite refreshing to enjoy the history of Europe in an actual eurpean production. Good cast and plot. The acting is good and the music is exhilarating.

If you're a man-child thats into grown men dressed up in rubber costumes and waving their hands for - this aint for you. But if you're into grown men dressed up in era costumes and armor, waving their swords - this is for you. Shot in german and french languages, tells a relatively accurate story, all actors play superb, director doesnt think you're an idiot and lets a lot of nuissances to do the talking. Best Ive seen in years and I dont even speak german or french.

Such a great series! I don't speak French or German but even so I still loved it and have watched it three times. The photography is amazing! The Austrian forests. The town burghers who look like they are sitting for a painting by a Dutch master. The baptism in the cathedral. The love scenes are tender. The humor comes through in the subtitles. The women!! Holy cow! Each of the women gets at least a moment to reveal her story in a moving way.
