Versailles (2015-2018)

King Louis XIV ruled France for 72 years, but it's wasn't exactly a walk in the park for the dude. At one point, when Louis was a relatively young 28 years old, much of the country's nobility was fighting the monarchy as a whole. Not content to lose his throne, Louis was like, "Nope," and moved the nobles to Versailles, where he hoped to build the greatest castle ever. Combine the increasingly angry inhabitants of said castle with a dwindling bank account and you have some serious First World, 17th Century Probs. Versailles tells the story of this time in his life, and although Louis made French the national language, the series is filmed in English—which means we can spend less time looking at subtitles and more time looking at George Blagden's perfect butt. It's a beautiful world.
