The Serpent Queen
Tell me what you would have done differently.
Considered an immigrant, common and plain, Catherine de Medici is married into the 16th century French court as an orphaned teenager expected to bring a fortune in dowry and produce many heirs, only to discover that her husband is in love with an older woman, her dowry is unpaid and she’s unable to concieve. Yet, only with her intelligence and determination, she manages to keep her marriage alive and masters the bloodsport that is the monarchy better than anyone else, ruling France for 50 years.

"The Serpent Queen" brings to life the historical character Catherine de Medici, aka The Serpent Queen, aka Alpha of "The Walking Dead" after it went woke. The episodes feature sex, pedophilia, sadism, and gore, amidst Machiavellian politics. After some tribulations, the Serpent Queen rises to dominance, surrounded mostly by beta males.
The French are surprisingly dark-skinned in reality, but "The Serpent Queen" takes it a step farther, with many blacks, Indians, and other ethnicities who would not likely be frequenting the royal court of 1550's France. Season 2 doubles down on the DEI hires to the point of insulting the viewers. I take a dim view of rewriting history for racial propaganda purposes, so my verdict is 5/5 woke. There is plenty of history to choose from black or Indian societies, so hands off Renaissance era France!
