I'm loving "The Royals" but why would you end it this way? I want more...

Been watching this new series the very first one ever made for the E! network and I must say "The Royals" does deliver! True this probably is not how the typical royal family acts in England, but still this series is feel good feel free fun! The series no matter how good is fiction and it has plenty of family drama as it follows the times of this British royal family not just thru London, but thru the world of their travels! And even though this family tries to keep tradition they have plenty of their own vices from heavy drinking to having a lot of sex! True keeping the price of fame is a royal job all together while facing public scrutiny! Anyway the real eye candy treat is seeing the still hot and beautiful Elizabeth Hurley play the cougar type Queen Helena! Mrs. Hurley anytime I see her it's such an eye candy treat as she is the wings and shoulders of this series! So check out "The Royals" it's a feel good time and it's good to see Mrs. Elizabeth in a series.
I loved this series from episode 1. My guilty pleasure. Recently got to re-watch the entire series thanks to Amazon Prime. But...I need closure. Season 4, and final season, left me hanging. So many questions and no answers. When I found out the Royals was not renewed for season 5, I was in disbelief. Please finish this series E! Even if just a few short episodes, which is impossible, considering all that was left up in the air at the conclusion of season 4. Give us something, it can't end...with no ending.
It was great! Can't believe you ripped us off with that ending. It will be a long time, maybe NEVER before I get involved in another show on your network!

It's kind of painful to watch with the pop music underscore. I wonder if it's more painful to watch for a British citizen or an American? I wouldn't write it off just yet. There are some subtle actions and dialog that make it interesting. Can people be so on/off with their feelings and behavior? How can I get ten lines out of this? Of course the settings are beautiful. Almost there. I wonder if the writers will handle the question of funding the ongoing Royal lifestyle versus the private wealth that they hold. All sorts of other interesting aristocrats to add to the mix. Can they make the commoners interesting? They can also handle royal privilege versus duty versus common privilege and duty.
I've enjoyed every minute thus far. The writing is witty and while at times predictable, it's a real laugh to watch the kids get even or get back at those that cross them.
The acting is good and I think believable. I especially like the fresh faces (William Moseley, Alexandra Park) and the choice of Elizabeth Hurley as Her Majesty.
The show thrives on the conflict between family, royalty, responsibility and the vagaries of youth and mischievousness.
If you've seen The Tudors, it has that feeling with a modern day twist.
This does not represent the real Royal Family in any way but it is still fun to watch.
Elizabeth Hurley should be listed first in 'Stars', not Joan Collins.

Fictionalized soapy drama. Its funny and interesting to watch what a modern and scandalous royal family would be. Sometimes the plot has ulterior motives and you really can't judge a character if they are good or bad. Acting could have been better at few places. It's a shame that it didn't live to see 5th season.

The Series was great but the fact that it left so many unanswered questions made me regret wasting my time. The last episode is worded as it is a finale; which was misleading. It is so sad for the viewers to invest their time into these series & then we are left with so many unanswered questions. I believe this is why so many people don't bother when a new series starts because they don't want to get invested and have the show cancelled. I rated most of the episodes with a 10; the ones that I rated at 9 & 8 had more to do with the Royal family horrible treatment of each other. It's hard for me to watch family treating each other in that way.

This might be for many a tough one to get into right out of the box. But once you wade through a couple-three episodes you know pretty much what you're getting yourself into... and it actually gets somewhat better as time goes by. And possibly by the end of S1, you just might find yourself surprisingly looking forward to S2. The casting job is top notch.. as are the performances of most all the actors. There is a flavor here for most everyone, and the ones worth looking at.. are really worth looking at (notably Poppy Corby-Tuech.. she's just absolutely gorgeous)! Is it well over the top.. undoubtedly.. and that's exactly the point. Actually, looking at what they are trying to accomplish is nowhere near easy.. and yet they pull the majority of it off pretty darn well. Doesn't always pay off, but sometimes hanging in there gives just reward.
I'm finding this quite amusing as a deliberately trashy spoof.
The actors play their characters well but are let down by screen writing giving them phrases they would never use. E.g. Queen: "Where were you raised" (brought up) Guy on motorbike: "Do you need a ride" (lift)
.... as well as a multitude of basic mistakes using lines we never use here.
It seems unlikely that the large cast of English actors didn't point these out but I suppose they were ignored.
It will be interesting to see if the characters start "reaching out" to each other, saying "like" every few words or go the whole hog and turn into Bill and Ted. Awesome Dudes!

I was hooked on this show!!! Why would they cancel a show and leave us hanging like that? We need a season 5 at least to give us a proper ending!
How E! Just left the series without an end, umbelievable and very disappointed, I just loved The Royals.
I must admit when i saw the first episode i was thinking to stop watching because it seams to me like some terribly show whit all this first page sex scandals, princes whit drug addiction, prince who sleep whit employee. But i give a second chance, and i was surprise that i actually love this show. I love all the drama that it going on there. I love the characters especial Prince Liam , Jasper, The King Simon. Some may say that this is an waste of time show, whit no story, but i can assure you that there is a story, about love (between Jasper and Eleanor),about family (between Liam and Eleanor), about power (between Cyrus and Helena), and about honesty no matter what ( King Simon ) . It is a nice show , whit a good story, good actress, and a message to chose love every time , because the power will just destroy us . So this is why i love this show and i'm looking forward for new episode and a new season i hope . Enjoy

You know those scenes of made up shows that sometimes get used to provide a bit of comic contrast, or to make a point, in TV series or movies? Which almost universally have ridiculously bad writing, hammy acting and terrible production values?
"The Royals" is that made into an actual show. And while those short scenes can be fun, sustaining that over a full episode, let alone one or more seasons, would require hard work and significant talent across the board. Neither requirement is remotely met here. The result is badly scripted, acted and shot tedium.

This show reminds me of a show that was on a few years ago called Footballer's Wives because there's lots of bitchiness, the characters are very rich, there's a lot of glitz and glamour, it's very sexy and debauched and there's lots of getting drunk, taking drugs and scheming. It's funny at times and I just cannot take it seriously! It's very very British, obviously, being about a 'pretend' British monarchy. It's ridiculous and as I was watching I was thinking none of this would ever happen. It's complete and utter trash but I just couldn't stop watching! So basically pretty much exactly how I felt about Footballer's Wives at the time it was out, but it was dangerously addictive and so is The Royals! You just have to keep watching to find out what crazy stuff is going to happen next! It's ultimate guilty pleasure viewing, I don't think you're supposed to take it seriously because the show itself doesn't take itself seriously either! Well that's what Footballer's Wives was like anyway and The Royals seems to be similar too in that way. The acting is pretty dire especially Elizabeth Hurley, awful!
As Canadians, we love to hate the British monarch. I've watched 2 episodes of The Royals and found the writing to be brilliant. Yes, it's a cheesy, campy satire that pokes fun of everything we hate about the monarchy which makes the show loads of fun. So far, the show 'captures' all of the gossip, innuendos and life events of the real royals. My mother was a devout royal watcher so I'm aware of the similarities between the show and the real royal family. If you weren't so aware of these events/gossip, the show wouldn't have as much meaning. The actors are spot on to their ''real life' counterparts AND I can't believe they found an actress to play Eliz. Hurley's daughter who looks exactly like her! I'm holding out giving the show 9 stars as I wait and see if they can keep going with the brilliant writing (they certainly have enough 'real life' royal debauchery situations to write about).

The title should be changed to Rags to Riches. The manner of speaking, behavior, just about everything is created to serve low IQ humans who will watch anything you show them. Save your time and don't watch this. There was nothing royal about then, it just seemed like a rich family being over dramatic.

When the first time I heard about The Royals, I was thinking of the Tudor-type drama but it turned out to be a modern day Royal Family arrangement, with significant relations that we knew today.
I was very intrigued on the TV Trailers and to know more on the main characters in general perspective. Likely they put it more in twist so that it would not look like the real Royal Family. So when I first watched the pilot episode, there are so many twist and turns that the mystery would be unfold for the later episodes. And in the end you will want more of it.
I was admired on Elizabeth Hurley's portrayal of Queen Helena - something that I never saw her like that on TV. And also London playing the character city in order to embrace the essence of the story.
I would give this TV series a chance to show it what it made of, and to prove that it is not cheesy enough to watch it in the first place.

Waste of a great casting for a crappy comedy. It's just insulting and plain of vulgarity. Stupid and insulting fiction. I love a lot 'Naked Gun' series and Monty Pythons humour but 'The Royals' is just a crappy fiction.

If you're 15-24 and enjoy the likes of one tree hill, dynasty, gossip girl and 90210 then you're in luck
This recycled trope genre is back with a royal twist. It's a guilty pleasure watch for sure so I'll probably commit to watching all 40 episodes. That said, it's terribly cringeworthy and writing is lazy
Lower your expectations for this goofy nonsensical series
I'd have liked to have seen serious struggles and issues be addressed! Lacks diversity and originality.
