"Mary and George", all seven episodes of which recently appeared on HOT, is the new entrant to the genre. The mini-series created by the British DC Moore for the Sky and Starz networks (this in England and the other in the USA) brings the story of Mary Villiers (the wonderful Julianne Moore) and the complex, not to mention morbid, relationship she had with her second son George (The Rising Star Nicholas Glitzin, "Red, White and Royal Blue).
Mary, who lived between the 16th and 17th centuries, married a man of higher status than herself and bore him two sons, John and George, and was widowed at a young age (Not so sad, the trash hit her), and as a result, she was expected to lose her position and the comfortable life that came with it. In short, there is never a dull moment with these guys, and if you are familiar with royal history, it turns out that they are even more boring compared to their near and far relatives. "Mary and George" belongs to a relatively new generation of period dramas. The speech here is everyday and devoid of pathos. The sex fills the screen, and the pace of events is quite dizzying. It can be placed in one line alongside series like "Bridgerton", "Katrina" and "The Tudor Dynasty." "Girls Forever": how lucky that Netflix saved this great series. Now there's no excuse not to watch it. "A small moose": this could have been a suspenseful series about stalking. Instead, she does something much bigger. "Fallout": when the character said "it's not sure if there will be next week," the series and reality aligned. "Ripley": let's take this crazy and exciting story and turn it into a tired and boring series. "The King's Assassin": this series is loosely based on a non-fiction book called "The Kings Assassin." It is a historical series, but it is evident that the creators took a rather free hand in describing the period.
