    “The Serpent Queen” grafts its kitschiness onto the nominally bookish genre. While it definitely shares a kinship with Starz’s other Tudor-centric series, Morton’s knowingly malevolent portrayal, alongside Hill, spices up the proceedings just enough to elicit interest.

    "The Serpent Queen" may be the latest Starz drama that plumbs the ghastly inner workings of court intrigue to remind us that in the past, as now, a woman's life was far from the stuff of fables. But it distinguishes itself by rinsing away the cosmetics of royal etiquette and self-serious machination with bracing wit.

    The Serpent Queen has just enough irreverence to make what could have been a boring period story a lot more interesting, emphasizing Catherine de’ Medici’s cunning over being prim and proper.
