The Serpent Queen 1.01. and 1.02.

I now had the chance to watch the first two episodes of The Serpent Queen, the new tv series about Catherine de' Medici, and am delighted so far. Now did have cautious hopes, because the biography it's based on, by Leonie Frieda, is reasonably good, the trailer was entertaining, and Samantha Morton as Catherine was promising.

( Only vaguely spoilery report on the first two episodes )

So much did I like the first two episodes that I nominated the show as a Yuletide fandom. Here's hoping it will continue as good!
