The series was created by Simon Mirren and David Wolstencroft, and in spite of the fact they rely heavily on talk and even on talk about real estate, they have created powerful and compelling characters to hold our attention.

What is more interesting is how Versailles chooses to interpret the major relationships and rumors that defined the early years of Louis' reign.

Eleven full minutes into Versailles, and I was cheerfully bonding with the Franco-Canadian mood of it all.

I'm enjoying Versailles. It is a trashy, extravagant romp that takes liberties with the actuality. It is also, undeniably, quite a lot of fun.

Fans of series like The Borgias, The Tudors, and other historical political dramas (with an emphasis on drama over history) will find plenty to like.

The men especially, appear lost or out of place, declaiming thick exposition and venomous threats in Brit-accented English, all while wearing poorly tailored frills and laughable long wigs that suggest they're trying to unleash their inner Fabio.

The intrigue, as we might expect, is probably the most interesting element of Versailles, and the entire attention-seeking souffl looks suitably splendid, as it should on a budget of 24 million.
