The Royals

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.

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.

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.

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.

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