DVD Reviews
I've enjoyed this show since the first
episode. I'm not a history buff, but I know they don't stick
to history, really. It's more just a fun teen drama that
happens to be set in the 1500's.
This is the last season, which is a shame. I
think the reason that their ratings fell has to do with with
the fact that they keep getting rid of characters. When the
series started, there was a triangle between Mary (Adelaide
Kane), Francis (Toby Regbo) and Bash (Torrance Coombs). Both
of these handsome guys died in Season 3! Some
convoluted storylines didn't help, either. The best
thing about the show was Megan Follows as Queen Catherine.
In the 4th season, Mary went back to Scotland, so the action
was then divided between Mary in Scotland and Catherine in
France. This made things very confusing.
Although most of the show was a historical
drama, it had some fantasy elements as well. However, the
fantasy part of the story moved very slowly, so it probably
frustrated fans. I'm not saying the show, or this season,
isn't worth watching. Far from it. It's very enjoyable.
If you want some fun escapism, this show
doesn't disappoint in that regard. Just don't expect the
story to make a lot of sense, and don't get attached to the
characters! But do watch it for the passion, romance,
fantasy and good acting. I would suggest starting with the
first season though, so you know what's going on.
If you're particular about history, though,
you might not like it because it's more fiction than
historical.

Season four of Reign
finds Mary rising to the challenge, taking back her
country and establishing her rule in Scotland, the
land of her birth but a wild nation foreign to her,
and now, once again, her home. Even as our canvas
expands to welcome a new court in Scotland with new
players, including Mary’s half-brother James, and
the men who vie for her hand, the French Court grows
as well. Catherine gave France many heirs –
too many, as it turns out. We will meet more
of her brood, who are amusingly and dangerously at
each other’s throats. Our queens will make
wise choices and knowingly brutal sacrifices; their
fates, especially Mary’s and Elizabeth’s, are not
only intertwined but increasingly inescapable.
It is a season of impossibly high stakes, unexpected
betrayals, sexual exploits, a royal wedding, a royal
birth and a rising body count as three queens in
three nations fight for their people, their loves,
and their lives.
Reign: The Fourth and
Final Season is priced to own
at $24.98 SRP. Reign:
The Complete Series is also available on DVD
