Admittedly, I initially wanted to watch the series mainly because of Nicholas Galitzine. And he's really great as George! Breathtaking!!! He goes through the biggest transformation in the series and you completely buy it. From a naive, fearful youth to a scheming, corrupt upstart. But you stay by his side and suffer with him because he was created by a monster. Mary, his mother, is played sharp-tongued by Julianne Moore. But above all, Tony Curran's portrayal of King James is also wonderful. And, queer or not, I loved the love story between George and James, and Nick and Tony have incredible chemistry.
But the series is full of dark humor and exciting and sexy, especially in the first episodes, and has a great cast, right down to the smallest supporting roles! And the costumes, the make-up and the locations are just incredibly beautiful. So be sure to check it out and see that Nicholas Galitzine has more to offer than just playing Prince Charming. He will go far!
