Loved this series. Great cast, costumes and superb drama. Didn't want it to end

Most events are far from truth but this serie deserves a 10 only for Versailles itself, you are instantly dropped in the middle of 1600 together with King Luis and his court, ambience, fashion, a great work is done everything is just magnificent!!

I think if history were taught with all of the sexual intrigue left in, more of us would pay attention to it. I loved the plotting of this series (I have only seen the first season). I'm sure there are others on here who can tell you what the inaccuracies are, but I'm not too unhappy about the "sexed up" details. Louis XIV had a big old vision for France, and it is satisfying to watch him craft his legacy as a person who thinks he was chosen by God to do it. HA! Who does he think he is, God's gift to man? YES! And to woman! I looked up the number of children this dude fathered from over twenty women and thought--wow--the series may have actually underplayed his affairs. Very fun to watch. It is not ashamed of its decadence. Just go with it!

I appreciate the story and the acting but the pornographic-like sex scenes are unnecessary and take away from the overall quality and story of the show. It is almost insulting to me that the show adds so much explicit sex because it makes me feel as though the producers feel I am a mindless consumer who will get bored without it. Versailles was a fascinating time, and although sex was a huge part of that time, it certainly isn't the most interesting part of it. Give me an intellectual, creative and honest depiction of Verailles not some silly erotica. Boring and disappointing.P.S. Most people in Versailles didn't shower and smelled terrible. I don't think sex was even close to being that sexy and glamorous back in the day. Women didn't really shave either. Just sayin'.
