My review of Young Royals

Although this series is geared towards teens, I found this a well written and acted series. I was expecting a sappy happy ending to the show (Season 1), but it was well written to end on a bittersweet moment. The acting, makeup (or perhaps lack of it) the script and pacing are excellent. The characters seem very real and aren't cardboard cutout cliches.

To borrow a line from Game of Thrones, "Duty so often is the death of love". We see this when a fictional Crown Prince of Sweden comes at a new boarding school and falls in love with another male student. When a video of the affair is made public, all hell breaks loose. Themes of public image vs real identity are explored.

The series seems off to a great start.
