Queen of Scotland Mary Stuart travels to France with four ladies-in-waiting to secure her politically strategic engagement to the king's son, Prince Francis. Mary and Francis share a mutual attraction, even though he has reservations about the wisdom of an alliance with Scotland. Complicating issues is Bash, Francis' illegitimate half-brother whom Mary finds herself drawn to in spite of herself. The French Court is also full of less romantic challenges for Mary, who finds her engagement -- and life -- threatened until she finds an ally in a mysterious shrouded guide. With all that she faces, Mary rallies, readying herself to rule and trying to find a balance between the demands of her country and those of her heart.

The plague served as a great stand-in for the king's madness, bringing a dramatic weight with it that kept viewers on their toes. Go to Full Review Maggie Serota Observer 10/17/2014
It's season 2 of Reign and you know what that means! Royal intrigue and hot bodice-ripping teen sex! Go to Full Review Genevieve Valentine AV Club 10/03/2014

This is also a show that's unafraid to directly examine power, which is one of the reasons it's succeeded as more than a compendium of ridiculous moments. Go to Full Review Lily Sparks TV.com 10/17/2014
After a rollercoaster freshman season, the series reshuffled the deck with "The Plague," a densely plotted episode that worked almost as a standalone outing but also went far in establishing new threads for Reign's sophomore year. Go to Full Review Ivanna Barrera The Young Folks 10/07/2014
It was a decent episode to set up the groundwork for the rest of the season. Go to Full Review Michelle Carlbert TV Equals 10/03/2014
Overall this premiere set the tone for what looks like a much darker season this year, and I liked it. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

steve d @RT35616104 08/01/2020 Some reworking of history is galling but the actors are still making this a treat. See more Gerardo M @RT86052265 05/13/2020 I think I'll stop this drama series at the beginning of season 2. This is highly innacurate with historic events and situations of the late medieval times. See more 04/10/2019 As a fan from season 1, I can appreciate the story and have become emotionally invested in characters. The scenery and wardrobe are just as gorgeous as the 1rst! Like I've already said, there's a great mix of History and fantasy!
