New Show: Reign

Hey guys! So, I seriously need some shows to watch. And no, I don't watch PLL. I've been watching Once Upon a Time, one of my all time favorite shows, since the first season, but I need some other stuff to watch when it isn't on. I tried out a new ABC Family drama called Twisted, and I got my cousin hooked on it, but the season ended a while ago.

I've been on the hunt for new shows to watch for a while, and I looked up a handful of them that were premiering in fall. There are a lot of shows that recently came out on the CW like Reign, The Tomorrow People, the Originals, and probably more that I don't know about. I decided to try out Reign and The Tomorrow People, but The Originals is a vampire show, which is not my cup of tea.

I tried to watch The Tomorrow People, but I didn't really like it... It was actually as stupid as it sounds. But, I decided I would watch one episode of Reign, just to try it out. I wasn't expecting much.

Reign is a historical drama with characters that actually existed in real life. I know, it sounds boring. But I am amazed at the modern twist they put into the show, and I really doubt any events in the show are actually historically accurate.

Reign follows the main character, Mary Queen of Scotland, who is off to marry the future king of France, Prince Francis, after multiple assassination attempts by the English. At the age of 9, she was hidden away to live with nuns at a convent. She is rushed to French Court after poison is found in the porridge served at the nunnery. Her friends from Scotland, her new ladies in waiting, meet her there.

Even at French court, Mary faces problems. Francis, to whom she has been engaged to for almost her whole life, does not seem to want to marry her. His illegitimate half brother, Sebastian, also seems to take interest in her. Trust me, there is lots of drama and a mysterious girl who travels the palace through secret passageways...

It is foretold that Mary will cost Francis his life. The Queen Catherine, Francis's mother, will stop at nothing to alter the prophecy- including hurting Mary.

Mary's friends have their own issues. They have to make sure Mary is doing well, but that doesn't stop them from having their own fun.

The show is only two episodes in, with a promise of royal drama to come. I'll be tuning in to Reign on Thursdays. Will you?
