Young Royals (2021–2024) User Reviews

An authentic portrait of a modern royal teen drama

[Directusy · 9/10 · 4 July 2021]

I really enjoy the plots. Firstly, the actors are in proper age, no over aged actors (not saying they are bad, but just suitable for acting teens). Secondly, the characters are written in flesh and bones as teens, who have flaws and acting irrationally. Thirdly, there is no over dramatic plots but things happen in real life.

The biggest tension is definitely the END of the royal blood vs true love. The ending leaves us a big suspense and we are all pumped to see Season 2!

Continue watching!

Saw the first episod earlier this night and wasn't super impressed. Now it's 3.30 am, just finished the last episode and I'm here writing a review and giving this series 10 stars. Needless to say: continue watching !!

A heartfelt and genuine story

[blebbe · 9/10 · 3 July 2021]

I loved it, I binged watched it in one sitting. Great storyline that wasn't too slow, but not too fast either. I really loved the chemistry between the two main characters. I would have wanted a little more character development for the side characters, but other than that it was a heartfelt and genuine story that is definitely worth a watch.

Beautiful and touching love story!!

[leandrorsene · 10/10 · 2 July 2021]

I loved every single episode of this tv show. It's beautiful to watch how these boy's relationships develops in such complex circumstances. Most importantly, how Wilhelm does his best to balance 'crown x own feelings' and, in spite of any decisions, has a very sweet heart.

Brilliant! Please 2nd season!!

a breath of fresh air in a world where even the grass is "fake"

[mubashiraliunar · 10/10 · 2 July 2021]

I have nothing but praise for this show and trust me, i really did try to find the flaws but i just couldn't cause everything thing about this series just fits so well together! The twist of monarchy to this gossip girl/elite like plot did kinda make me think twice but what can i say, i'm sucker for high school dramas! So i gave it shot, and it's safe to say that it did NOT disappoint, and in quite a few places it even beats it's predecessors. From the acting to the writing and storytelling it's all just exceptional and so smooth, you never deal with any kind of sloppiness in it all, and maybe you'd think that with only 6 episodes it wouldn't deliver much of an experience, but you're wrong, it actually does! And WAY more than you'd or even i imagined. The characters are realistic and even when they're doing the wrong thing, they do it rightly! Like nothing in this show ever feels uncalled for, even the 'dreamy' romance feels real! And you really do get to attach with the characters even with the short time limit, and in the end you feel like you're full but you still want so much more of this story as it just leaves with such a huge room for vast developments and connections, so yeah i basically NEED another season! Anyways i HIGHLY recommend it, watch this over the weekend and you'll still be left with more than enough time to watch a whole another series!!

A great show

[madelineashawasegai · 10/10 · 4 July 2021]

At first when Wilhelm was entering the school I thought "oh here we go another cringey netflix show with terrible acting and even worse writing". Boy was I wrong, like any tv show some scenes make me close my eyes and turn my laptop off but this is because August's character is really portrayed well, almost too well. Same goes for all the other actors, you can tell they 100% understood what to do with their characters. I was really prepared to bash this show for being something like Riverdale but god was I wrong and very happy with that! The characters are realistic, the writing well done, the dialogue well thought out (considering most characters are teenage boys and I find writers/directors sometimes forget they don't all talk like English professors.) I can't help but hope this show will be granted a season two!1!!1!

Heartfelt

[airulamir · 10/10 · 3 July 2021]

I loved this show so much. All the characters are realistically presented. The story moved on the right pace. The two main characters have a really great chemistry. This might be one of my favorite show in 2021. It is better than Elite season 4 for me. The love portrayed felt genuine. I can feel the love through the screen.

So good

[ashine-02129 · 10/10 · 1 July 2021]

So good. Give it a watch, won't be disappointed. Want to see more!

A really enjoyable drama

[emmamerks · 10/10 · 5 July 2021]

I'm not someone who usually binge-watches shows, but I did watch this one in one sitting. Really well-written, with so many lovely characters. Even characters I don't like feel real and I could understand their motives. I hope that there is a 2nd season, I was to see more of Wilhelm, Simon, Felice and Sara.

The definition of perfection: Young Royals

[c1ara · 7/10 · 12 July 2021]

I didn't expect it to be bad, but I didn't expect it to be this good either. I thought it might be basic and unoriginal, but I was pleasantly surprised!

The story was just beautiful. It's about a prince who has to go to a boarding school, where he falls in love with a boy. He has to chose between love and his obligations. This is well written and touching.

The acting is good too, very good! Especially Edvin Ryding did a really great job. It felt real and it was emotional. The two main characters also have a lot of tension, what makes you get lost in the story and forget about reality for a while.

The characters are not basic or based on characters of other shows, they're their own unique person. They also have realistic behaviour for a teenager.

The whole plot is just realistic and the way they interact is relatable. This is a thing that bothers me a lot in other shows: unrealistic lives of teenagers. So I'm really glad that wasn't the case here.

I don't give a 10 out of 10 very easily, but while writing this review I realised I have nothing to remark about this show. It's perfect and I recommend it to anyone!

Update: the second season is even better!

The plot of Young Royals sounds so incredibly ridiculous. When I started watching the series, I expected something very enjoyable, but also very stupid. I thought it was gonna be like 'Red, White & Royal Blue'. Who the hell even makes stories about a prince falling in love with another boy. Well, these creators did, and I'm glad! The execution was just perfect! It wasn't stupid and ridiculous like I thought it would be. It's not like the other Netflix shows that are focussed more on the costumes and decors than on the actual story. This is so simple, yet so complicated.

Watching the second season I realised even more how good this is. You can see they didn't come up with the second season after finishing the first one, but that the see everything as a whole. I couldn't name one bad thing, everything is amazing!

Awesome

[smorganm-14933 · 10/10 · 3 July 2021]

This show is absolutely great. Not too over the top but also very entertaining. The cast does a good job and the look of the show is quite nice. Let's just hope Netflix doesn't cancel it.

A good drama

[aastikhimta · 7/10 · 26 July 2021]

The plot was entertaining and good. It was indeed a good drama instead of having LGBT and I'm not hating any part of that. Ending was fine too. Enjoyed it. Go for it .

Why did they bother with season 2

[jasminblue-22226 · 5/10 · 7 December 2022]

I LOVED season 1. It was one of my top tv series and I recommended to everyone, the characters, the plot, the cinematography, everything! So amazing. They finished season 1 with such a good ending and it had the potential to have a second season but still wasn't distasteful if they didn't decide to do this. Which they did which I obviously was not mad bad as I loved season 1.

But season 2. Honestly why?????

It was so so so slow paced and every plot I just didn't care about like I did in season 1. The characters were just not the same, the relationships between them did not feel familiar like in season 1 and the main leads didn't seem like they had the same chemistry in my opinion. And the ending? What?

My advice is watch season 1 not 2 as season 1 needs to be watched but season 2 will ruin everything.

Incredible

[cretteodora · 10/10 · 3 July 2021]

I wholeheartedly recommend it! Is a series that faces many real life problems.

Brilliant and touching!

[hermine-67156 · 10/10 · 4 July 2021]

I found the series a day before the release date and decided to give it a chance the next day. Definitely the right decision. The plot caught me immediately, as did the characters and their stories. I especially liked the authenticity of Wilhelm; besides his role as a prince, he is also just a normal teenager with problems and struggles.

I really hope there will be a second season. For me personally, the series is one of the best Netflix series ever. Moreover, I hope that it will meet with more approval here in Germany. I would recommend the series especially for people who like Elite or Gossip Girl.

Worth a watch

[birdy00 · 10/10 · 1 July 2021]

All the classic ingredients, but still authentic and really accomplished. I felt like I had watched six episodes when I got to the third because something happens all the time.

The chemistry is fire. I'm left with mushiness in my heart and it's been 4 days already 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭

[jasmsayed · 10/10 · 5 July 2021]

Yall please watch this show. The chemistry between the the two leads is soo infectious right from the start. The prince wilhelm (edvin) has done such a fantastic job. His eyes convey soo many emotions. The way he looks at simon with pure unadulterated love is just soooooo .....idk....cute. On the other hand theresthis cutie simon (omar) who's such a lil munchkin throughout the show. He has acted soo well. It didnt feel fake at all. The show is like 100000/10 for me.

THIS IS GOOD!

[majkenthenfors · 5 July 2021]

Love the story . And the end I just want a season 2 !

Season 2

[rokhforuz · 7/10 · 11 November 2022]

Maybe they didn't want the spark among fans goes away, but season 2 seems like very rushed to be produced and aured. So many flaws & inconsistency in outfits or scenes. The best part of YR were its music, We don't see that in season2. Plot was alll over the place in the new season.every characterhas somethingto say but none were really fully finished their story. New characters were also introduced but didn't sit right with old characters. Actors/actresses r great but plot/ cinematography/ music r not as good as season 1. I'd rather wait more for a better outcome. I'm interested in seeing another season i know it gas lots to say.

Written beautifully

[khairudinalibidin-63326 · 10/10 · 4 July 2021]

The story is written beautifully, all the visual was arranged very well; not perfect but it is fit and match to the story. I watch this on original audio means in Swedish so I'm reading English subtitle to understand it and the details in the visual depicted in this series help to me to understand more. Really engaging story line. I cannot wait for season 2! I know this story can offer us the viewer more.

Unrealistic and a bit too sensational

[avaluna-97992 · 4/10 · 28 November 2022]

I really expected high quality, especially because of the incredible high rates, even higher than The Crown, which in my opinion is one of the highest quality series on Netflix. This was far beneath that level. It felt unrealistic, sensational and superficial. Unrealistic because of the scenes, a bit over the top, too loud, too extreme, too unrealistic. The roles or characters were skin deep to me and didn't meet my expectations at all. The story line was not interesting enough and rather predictable and apart from the two main characters, there were there were no other characters worked out. A disappointment.

Royally Brilliant!

[jason-32279 · 10/10 · 2 July 2021]

This series is amazing. Why so few episodes? I really enjoyed it and the cast is incredible.

WE WANT SEASON 2

[khaledal-16161 · 10/10 · 4 July 2021]

This show is really good. The storyline and the characters are insane. Please don't cancel the show, as a lgbtq-member the show means really a lot to me.

So so so goooodddd

[michellemorales-88219 · 10/10 · 5 July 2021]

Like foreign tv is where it's at it's so refreshing seeing teenagers that look like teenagers. With acne and all the awkwardness. It honestly deserves the world and a season 2 cause we need more Simon and Wilhelm!!!!
