4.5/5
Young Royals is an engaging story about a sweet romance and the responsibilities that come with royalty. You’ll be able to relate to the characters and enjoy everything that happens on-screen. Go to Full Review Katherine Singh Refinery29 10/03/2022
The show — which might initially have you comparing it to Riverdale or Dynasty because of its campy aesthetics— is an unsuspecting hit. Go to Full Review Frank J. Avella Edge Media Network 05/03/2022

This is gayboy soap opera at its sudsiest, and creators Lisa Ambjörn, Lars Beckung and Camilla Holter know when to pour in the drama bubbles. Ryding is a truly charming presence. Go to Full Review Mimi Wong Mediaversity Reviews 08/02/2021

Young Royals' awareness of the ways class, privilege, and race intersect with identity feels incredibly forward-looking. Go to Full Review Joel Keller Decider 07/27/2021
We're intrigued with the love vs. duty story angle of Young Royals, but we're wondering if that's going to be buried under an avalanche of privileged teens acting badly. Go to Full Review Joyce Slaton Common Sense Media 07/07/2021
4/5
Naturalistic and gripping, this Swedish import transcends the cliché it could have been and becomes something more unusual: a teen drama that actually feels like it could be telling a true story. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

Bos E @EJBos Feb 2 Much to praise, the main characters Wille and Simon are acting delightfully August is also a great actor. Felice also. Sarah is disappointing, ,maybe I cannot handle her constantly depressed face and desperate look.That was probably in the script but the viewer it is tiring and one hopes her scene is over soon. The royal family lacked credibility , I am not sure what was missing but I never found the royal scenes very convincing. These are minor objections. As a whole this series was a great courageous thing to do and a great success that has given us huge inspiration. See more Alex J @RT16045055 Aug 19 I thought I have seen actors with on-screen chemistry before in other shows and movies but these two actors playing Wilhelm and Simon made me quickly realise what rare, genuine, undeniable and incomparable on-screen chemistry really looks like! It is peak level and top-tier which fully captivates this special love story with interesting writing and strong scene directions. I totally understand why they have been widely lauded for their believable and authentic portrayal as a couple.

Everything was perfect I loved it....
