Season 1 Review:
The dialogue is rife with anachronisms. ... Never mind a torrent of vulgarities that seem far more 21st century than 18th. ... For all the dithering—something for which Louis XVI remains famous—"Marie Antoinette" has some very solid performances, notably by Mr. Purefoy, who makes Louis XV kindly, fierce, fatherly and sexually predatory. Ms. Schüle pivots from making Marie a believable child to portraying her as a convincing court politician and schemer.

Season 1 Review:
Marie Antoinette genuinely tries to put a new spin on the life of the famous French Queen, but in trying to both do something different, and stick to what worked so well for stories that came before it, the series winds up speaking far too much and saying very little.

Season 1 Review:
The early chapters are enlivened by James Purefoy's droll take on Louis' lusty father, Louis "papa Roi" XV, and Marie's jousting with the king's possessive mistress, the fabled Madame Du Barry (Gaia Weiss). But once they're out of the picture, and the bratty new Queen turns her Petit Trianon chateau into a party palace, it's hard to muster much sympathy for these spoiled royals and their reprehensible foes. [13 - 26 Mar 2023, p.4]
