Up until recently I would have given this show a solid 10/10, but it has become just insufferable to watch. It started out strong and well made. The characters were interesting and fun, the acting was excellent, and the consumes, sets, and scenery were so believable. It was like stepping back in time. I also thought it was really neat how they incorporated real historic people into the shows ( and inserted themselves into real history-what a hoot!). It gave l the audience a fun peek into the character and lives of so many prominent people in history, even if it was mostly fiction. I looked up a lot of what was going in the show and some of it really happened. I couldn't wait to watch it-until it became unwatchable. The show slowly morphed into a homage to social and political agendas. It got really old really quick. And what is up with the once funny and charming Watts suddenly realizing he is gay, and then wiggly waggling-practically air humping- around any man who he thinks might possibly be gay as well??? If I were a gay person I'd be insulted by this portrayal. Can we please have just one show that doesn't force social and political agendas down our throats???
