It's a family drama, and that family just happens to be a royal family.

Hello Readers!

This week’s post is about a new show called The Royals. It premiered on E! on March 15. While I’ve only seen two of the three episodes, so far I like what I’ve seen.

The show is centered on a fictional British royal family set in modern-day London. In the opening of the first episode, we find out that the king’s oldest son has died. The heir to the throne is now Liam, if there’s even going to be a next kind at all.

The king thinks his son is dead because of the monarchy and announces to the family that he’s thinking of having it abolished. This of course leads to instability within the family.

Between the drug-addicted princess, the evil uncle vying for his brother’s crown, and the controlling queen who has come accustomed to the royal lifestyle, it’s hard to know exactly which way this show may go.

But that’s what I think this show needs if it’s going to survive in a struggling TV market. While it’s too soon to say if this show is going to grow legs, you can enjoy the royal unrest Sundays at 9 PM on E! Let me know what you think!

Thanks for reading!
