Loved it! Such a clever series Haven't written any reviews on here in ages, due to the character minimum and often I just haven't got enough to say. But fot this one, I had to come back. I love absolutely everything about it.
Firstly, the concept of a story of some imaginary country, based on various situaties around the world. It's like a reality fairytale.
The acting of all involved. Of course Kate, but all the advisors, her palace manager, the loves in her life, the politician in captivity*, the Americans, all of them were so good. The facial experiences, the lines they had, simply very good.
But mostly, I loved the humour, it was all so witty. Extreme and subtle at the same time. I really laughed out loud numerous times. I don't think I had seen Kate in a funny role before, but she did well. Including the crooked twitchy mouth.
I also really liked the ending, and how one element is simply not addressed anymore. Just to show what it meant to the main character. On that same note, quite an important character dies, but that is hardly even shown, in the grand scheme of things it doesn't matter to the others around the person. The person was very important, but they don't acknowledge that at all.
But if you expected Titanic or, the Holiday or The Reader, then no, this isn't for you.
*I love how Hugh Grant is always just Hugh Grant, bad guy or good guy, it doesn't matter. And I don't mind it!
