It's 1667 and 28-year-old King Louis XIV has finally taken over sole command of France. When he commissions Versailles, Europe's most beautiful palace, the nobles seek entry into the lavish residence, which they do not realize is meant to imprison and control them. Among the ruler's prime targets is his younger brother, Monsieur. There's also romance in King Louis' life, as his queen, Marie Theresa, tries to tame his wandering eyes and win his heart back from his mistress, the English king's sister. Love, power, betrayal and war are all part of daily life in Versailles.

Period dramas take historical facts and run with them, and that is all part of the fun. Versailles does just that, albeit with a little bit of self-importance. Go to Full Review Peter Crawley Irish Times 03/24/2020
There are pleasures to be found among the show's luxuriant surfaces, all marble and gold and velvet, or its radiant cast, or plots that are never taxing. Go to Full Review Louis Wise Sunday Times (UK) 12/27/2017
