I started watching Reign last year and although I have only watched series one I am completely hooked. Reign is an American, historical, fantasy, romance television series that is on Netflix. It has also won the People choice award as well as been nominated for three Teen Choice Awards.
This amazing show follows the early years of Mary, Queen of Scots when she was living in France.

Reign also clearly represents the complete and utter control men have in making decisions over women and simply how unfair a woman's life was as they were in men's mercy at all times. And okay so it may not be actually historically accurate at any point other than the characters names the show is still
