If you are looking for historical accuracy you may want to look elsewhere but what Davis has delivered is a wry, intimate depiction of a royal family who, bored of their privilege, find purpose in tearing each other down. It doesn't quite match the production value of the Netflix & co behemoths but the costume and sets more than pull their weight.

Any shortcomings are elevated by a cast full of promise. Led by a fiery performance from Schüle full of charm and sincerity, well supported by her husband who gives a sensitive evolution to the Dauphin turned king. The machiavellian 'spare' and his wife Josephine are highly entertaining in their schemes yet still deliver a sense of pathos, and the Princess Lamballe provides a rare source of compassion in this cold and spiteful court. There are other gems in the ensemble although some characters can feel one-note at points; acceptable in a 2 hour satirical film but less forgivable in an 8-part series.

Cattiness and Gossip are the cornerstones of this Versailles, which whilst fun can become repetitive and feel trivial at points. Ultimately, the main throughline of this series is the romance (or lack of) between the young queen & king and so the potential of civil unrest disturbing these royals and their petty squabbles is an exciting prospect. Fortunately, knowing the fate of this family, the stakes can only be raised considerably in future seasons.

This should not be categorized as Biography but Romance Drama History. It is almost complete fiction. As someone who actually reads history books, I had to suspend all disbelief to enjoy it. And so I did once I accepted its true nature. One must understand that when dealing with history, there are facts. Take this as fiction and enjoy the production design, the cinematography, the costumes, the hair and makeup and most of all Emilia Schüle's joyful and effervescent perfomance!

I also enjoyed the other actors, James Purefoy is brilliant as the "lecherous" Louis XV and Jonas Bloquet as Joseph II is fun to watch. The fact that France had heavy participation in producing this and the state allowed filming at Versailles, says a lot. Not many get that privilege.

Period dramas aren't usually our thing but we loved this series. It's interesting at the beginning but gets so good as it goes a long and the characters age up.

The sets were impressive - they just kept going and going during some of the longer tracking shots. The way the show is filmed is really effective.

The characters were brilliant, whether we were loving them or loved to hate them. Some interesting coincidences with the brother drama in the royal family atm. The whole series actually felt like a commentary on the current british monarchy.

I would like to have seen more of what was going on in France at the time, to contrast all the excess and frivolity of the court. But we really enjoyed this look into Marie Antoinette's life and her gilded cage, and will be hooked for more.

It is laughable the amount of scenes or tidbits in the show that are just rip offs from the Sofia Coppola's movie for no reason, and not things that are truly mentioned from history. If they were going to make a television version of that movie at least be fun in colorful and fun. The acting's okay but it's just not a more creative retelling of the story and then doesn't add fictional parts that make it better. I wish they just chose a lane and stuck to it.

It's a slow show that doesn't know if it wants to be historically correct, historical fiction, fun, a drama, or funny and then ends up being nothing.

This seems to be a divisive one.

Personally, I loved it... It had a slow start but I appreciated how much atmosphere was built before the series properly gets going. The first episode almost felt like a horror ... tense & claustrophobic ... whereas the rest of the series gradually becomes lighter, funnier & more energetic.

It is beautifully shot, beautifully dressed & beautifully performed. The young cast are fantastic. I hope to see them in many future things. The score is also stunning!

This series has an unusual tone that's difficult to place... It can often seem like a traditional (but very well done) period drama but then surprises you with a modern flourish or wink to the viewer... It's like The Crown with moments of The Great.

I'm not bothered by any creative licenses with the real history... the show doesn't seem to market itself as a literal account, & I'd rather be entertained than educated in this instance!

We have become accustomed to these sexed-up histories, full of colourful costumes, outrageous characters, and woke plotlines. But watching Marie Antoinette, one thing was immediately and painfully apparent - the lousy camerawork. Somebody decided to leave all the tripods, dollies, and gimbals in the truck, and do everything handheld (or so it would seem). Every single shot is a reminder of your elderly relative's wobbly 1990's camcorder footage. I could understand this approach for the action sequences like ballroom dances, horse riding, or fights, to put you right there in the action. But sadly every shot, however beautiful it should have been, from wide outdoor vistas, internal architecture and especially the many character close-ups, are all spoiled by an unnecessary and amateurish hand-held shake. This also wastes to some extent the fantastic level of detail provide by modern UHD shooting. So sad that the creators couldn't appreciate the difference between making a big-budget production and capturing wobbly mobile-phone junk for Tik-Tok.

This is the best period drama I've come across in a long time. A lot of effort has gone into the hair, makeup and costumes and it shows. Even the quality of cinematography is super high.

Marie Antoinette is likeable in this series and comes across as vulnerable at many times which makes her a lot more relatable. I couldn't care about the historical inaccuracies. The storytelling is what's brought me and kept me here.

I've watched many shows with a horridly slower pace. This isn't one of them. It's at a perfect pace that isn't too chaotic or too slow to make you lose interest.

If I wanted it to be 100% factual, I'd watch a documentary.

Wasn't sure I could cope with another batch of royals this year but this one Marie Antoinette is so different that it doesn't feel Royal at all. They seem more like a bunch of poor little rich kids floating around in gaudy palaces. I can't help but compare to its most obvious rival(I think) being THE GREAT there are a few similarities, in their timelines & palaces etc but other than that...not really comparable. The witty script in THE GREAT is .unrivalled and as well as the way it is delivered. The cast in THE GREAT particularly the two leads IS remarkable. They throw themselves with gusto...especially when smashing glasses & crying out loudly "HAZZAH" I could not help but get carried away with their enthusiasm. I hope they make several more seasons.

I feel this is a missed opportunity. It is uneven, lacks a compelling script and overall seems to lack imagination and dramatic tension. I don't even care so much if it is historically accurate but at least make it interesting - I'd prefer historical accuracy but if you make a show like this, at least make it interesting! If it were historically accurate it probably would be more interesting.

I love the sets and seeing the great palaces and grounds but it seems the writing (or something) was meh. The acting is ok and I'm willing to allow the young actors a pass, but the creative leadership and vision was mediocre.

We wanted to like it but found ourselves grinding through it. If they do season 2 I hope they find a way to make it more interesting because there was so much going on in the world and in France!

I find the reviews saying that this series is historically inaccurate and full of falsehoods very tedious.

It is a series not a documentary.

No one was expecting it to be historically precise - none of us were there to make it so.

You can add that this would not have happened, that would not have happened, blah blah blah.

Look I love History, especially European history and Royal family's. But viewers need to get over themselves.

Regardless of how loosely this is based on Marie Antoinette's journey into life in France, it is magically captivating and kept me enchanted. The acting is good, the costumes stunning and overall an enjoyable series.

There are many documentaries on Marie Antoinette, if you want to be that concerned about historical facts, go watch one of them.

The idea that you could start watching this series and imagine that everything was accurate in it is beyond a joke.

Go into this series with no preconceptions and enjoy it for what it is.

You never know, it may spark an interest in viewers to learn more about Marie Antoinette and do fact checking themselves.

It is a perfectly lovely series that kept me entertained. Very recommended, if you can override your need for historical accuracy and just get a life.

I cannot tell you how much I loved this. The acting is exquisite from all of the characters. . I didn't want it to end. Because we all know how it ends. Louis and Toinette are perfect casting. The whole story is fabulous. James Purefoy as the King is a great choice.. it really gets to you how hard it must have been for a fourteen year old to entertain the court . The Beeb normally woke things these days but not this one It's the best thing I've watched on the BBC in so long and they hid it on BBC2. Please watch it. You won't be disappointed. Apparently I have to make this review longer just to post it.

Lush and big-budgeted costumer with spectacular and brilliant scenarios , retells life of title role from an adolescent to queen of France. From her betrothal and marriage to Louis XVI at 14 to her reign as queen at 19 and to the end of her reign as queen, and ultimately the fall of Versailles. This series is really a historical drama, with the Versailles Court as the back scenery, for all kinds of entertaining intrigues. This is the attractive and stylized story dealing with the retelling of France's iconic but ill-fated queen, Marie Antoinette, including a charming cast. Developing the life of Marie Antoinette (1755-1793) from betrothal and marriage in 1770 to other events as her getaway from Versailles palace. At first, she's a Hapsburg teenager isolated in France, living a virgin's life in the household of the Dauphin, a shy solitary man who would like to be a locksmith. She then matures and becomes a responsible ruler. Marie Antoinette is an enjoyable account of the private life of the last queen of France before the Revolution. Opening in the year 1770, Maria Antonia Josepha Joanna (Emilia Schüle), affectionately known as Antoine, is the beautiful, charming, but naïve youngest daughter of Austria's empress Maria Theresa (Marthe Keller). She is selected by her mother to marry her second cousin, the Dauphin of France, Louis XVI (newcomer Louis Cunningham, in real life indeed a direct descendant of Louis XVI), and seal an alliance between the two rival countries. The 14-year-old girl travels to France and is presented to the lush court. The court is rife with gossip, which is relayed to Marie Antoinette by the few courtiers who are warming up to her. The King's mistress, Madame du Barry (Gaia Weiss), is notorious for her crude manners and temper. She is hated by the court in general, who know that the King had found her at a brothel and had given her a title of Comtesse in order to keep her at Versailles. And depicting too, Louis XV (James Purefoy) who with the courtesan, the King rediscovers his taste for life - so much so that he can no longer do without her and decides to make her his official favorite. Retelling the iconic figure, Madame Du Barry (Gaia Weiss) went on to rise through the Court of Louis XV to become his last official mistress and scandalizing an entire country; in fact she was always exposed to all kinds of mockery, insults and harassment from those who always wanted to remind her of her origins. But then, a strong confontation between Marie Antoinette and Du Barry takes place.

Epic on life of famous French queen has Emilia Schüle in title role but lacks perspective and historical accuracy, though sets & costumes are excellent, being marketed for a large audience. This is an agreeable biopic, decently played, of the 18th-century queen and describing other interesting characters in this labeled royal court.

Delicious eye candy, but lacking in substance, this is a glamorous as well as opulent series of life of 18th century French queen courtesan filled with agreeable drama , luxurious gowns , impressive palaces but lacks good pace and historical events; so this story is not historically accurate at times. Majestic biopic follows the famed queen Marie Antoinette, who was the last queen of France before the French Revolution. Emilia Schüle captures somewhat essence of title character giving a fine acting , as we walk through the life of this rebellious woman who broke with the codes of the corseted Versailles of the 18th century. She shines in this enjoyable but uneven, lavish & slow series . While, the beautiful Gaia Weiss is pretty well as the most hated woman at the court of Versailles and the favorite of the king, Louis XV -nicely performed by James Furefoy- , who regained his will to live thanks to this courtesan, so she was a wanton, vivacious young woman, catches the eye & the heart of the aging Louis XV and quickly becomes his mistress. Later on, queen's luxurious lifestyle and apparent callous indifference to the common people result in unflattering and obscene political cartoons in the local newspapers and earn her the title "Madame Déficit". Then, the affair of the necklace and the general poverty of France feed revolution ultimately the fall of Versailles.

The series follows the style of two previous films:¨Sofia Coppola's Marie Antoinette¨ and ¨Maiwenn's Jeanne du Barry¨ and also influenced by the attention to period detail of movies as¨Stanley Kubrick's Barry Lyndon¨. The series had thousands of costumes and lavish set designs . Some gowns became extremely heavy due to the embroidery, flounces and precious stones used. Breathtaking and colorful scenarios , in fact , crew was allowed to film on the grounds of the Château de Versailles, Versailles, Yvelines, France Palace of Versailles . It contains vocative and brilliant cinematography from cameramen Danny Elsen and Gerd Schelfhout. Adding evocative and attractive musical score by composer Guillaume Roussel. The series in 12 episodes was created by Deborah Davis and compellingly directed by Geoffrey Enthoven, Pete Travis, Edward Bazalgette and Raf Reyntjens.

Been Binging on this today and i am really likeing the casting and acting beutiful costumes I never really knew anything about frech or Marie Antoinette ..except the famous line Let them eat cake that cost her her life . I kind of fealt for her because of the way she was raised and the inlaws being so cruel . I found my self engrossed and could not move away from the screen .. The whole casting works beutifully .. I could not decide if this was comedy i found Adelaïde and Victoire quiet entertaining i am on epidoe 4 and its 3.50 am. Usually i find period drams a little dry . But anyone who says this is bad or dry and has wacthed every episode they would be hippocrits msut of been good for them to watch it.

From what I've read about Marie Antoinette the actual story is fairly accurate. Okay there may be some inaccuracies but not anything important. The actors are brilliant and are completely believable, especially the awkward Louis. I felt genuine sadness for these people trapped inside their gilded cages, especially when we can see what is to come at their end. You get a real insight into how these people were just pawns in a power game. I was surprised and extremely pleased at how unPC it is, considering its made by the BBC but for once they put historical accuracy before virtue signalling. I cant see the point in making a historical drama thats not historical. Hope this is a sign of things to come, it's really good!

I binge watched this series and it was entertaining enough, the acting was good, the plots against Marie Antoinette were fun. I did feel as though the last episode didn't really need to be made, the series could have ended on episode seven and I would have looked forward to a season two far more. I started watching it thinking it would end with her demise (as in real life) but this series does not go anywhere near as far. If it is real history you're after, then this isn't it and you're better off getting the history books out. So I'm not sure I will be bothering with series two now, it appears that is going to focus more on relationships between MA and different men or women that are close to her which I think will be quite boring. Should have stopped at 7 episodes.

The worst depiction of Marie Antoinette's life I've ever seen. Sure the story is entertaining, the drama is good, the setting is amazing & the costumes are beautiful. Unfortunately they get next to nothing right about her life. If you are going to fictionalize everything about her life why not just write a fictional period piece? Don't butcher her life & the lives of those depicted alongside her. You will only disappoint the people who study & love her & the people who don't know & care for her likely aren't watching. If they are watching they have no idea who M. Antoinette really was. Her life was incredibly sad & fascinating. It was filled with young love, hope, drama, excess, backstabbing, friendship, secrets, style, fun &, in the end, chaos & death. There was no need to change anything & its baffling to me that a historian would sign off on this travesty. I intended to buy a handful of the screenwriter's book but I'll think twice before doing so.

I was somewhat surprised by this series. Initially I was expecting something a lot more fanciful, but it worked for me. I will admit that I haven't taken time to find out how historically accurate the drama is, but other reviewers seem to suggest that isn't that fantastical. The early episodes did need a pinch of make believe magic, as the actors were clearly a not the prepubescents they were playing, but by episode 4 it became more plausible. Their young love blossomed. The filming is excellent, as is the editing, the writing, and the acting. As an entertainment, I can't fault it! I sure I'm now going to take some time to explore all of this history in greater detail.

For the sake of Austria, Marie Antoinette is sent to marry The Dauphin, and faces the prospect of becoming The Queen of France, she faces many obstacles in her way.

A truly captivating series from start to finish, I've not enjoyed The BBC's historicals quite as much in recent years, the focus hasn't always been where it should, this however is magnificent.

Visually jaw dropping, it's a lavish production, with incredible visuals, sets, costumes and locations are all flawless.

Every episode has something to offer, you really do see Marie's journey, sadly we all know how this one ends.

Emilia Schüle and Louis Cunningham are equally captivating in their respective roles, she is dazzling, alluring and provocative, he is reserved and subtle, yet strong, the pair combine superbly. James Purefoy is terrific as King Louis.

If you were going to be a little picky, you could say that maybe some of the dialogue was a little ... unexpected let's say, Joseph for example, wonderful, but I'm not sure the script was fitting, it's a minor quo blue though, and perhaps the only criticism I can make.

Roll on Series 2.

9/10.

This brought me right in completely.

We get the viewpoint from her experience entering the new life she must fulfill. The acting did not ever leave me wanting. I am trying to commit to not watching the last episode because I am liking the two as presented more than anyone in the production. Not because of their acting but surely because the characters were loathsome. Pretty much everyone besides the two had dodgy traits. This is a story that makes us appreciate not having to live the life of aristocracy. I'll make an exception to the food though; Who wouldn't. Everything it takes to make a production like this was so well done. Even the most simple moments were essential like her toying with the bug on the window express volumes about the sort of life this was. I have only watched the first episode and already I'm immersed.
