This is probably for the girls...I've been watching "Reign" on Netflix. 44 episodes, 45 minutes each.
Mary, Queen of Scots. Beautiful people, beautiful costumes, intrigue, betrayal, France in the 1500s with all the patriarchy and war and - I really like it. You have to pay attention. It's a lot like "Scandal" in its pace - quick dialog and many plot twists per episode.
