"Versailles, 1667. Haunted by the trauma of the Fronde as the nobles of his court begin to rebel against the monarchy, 28-year-old Louis XIV (George Blagden), in a Machiavellian political move, decides to make the nobility submit by imposing a definite move of the court from Paris to Versailles, his father's former hunting lodge. Trapped by their king's "invitation", the nobles of Paris gradually come to see the castle as a gilded prison and soon even the most humble courtiers of the king begin to show their viciousness as the alcoves of secrets, politics and war are maneuvered through, revealing Versailles in all its glory and brutality."

I don't usually like these period drama things but after the first episode I got hooked on this it's so good. It airs every Wednesday 9:30pm on BBC 2 but the whole first series is online after it aired in Canada in December 2015. There's lots of sex and stuff in this but it's worth a watch.

Series 2 is set to take place 4 years after season 1 and it airs in October this year in France and Canada.

Season 2 has been really good imo loving this story arch more than season one. I ended up watching them all ahead of BBC2 air dates.
