Mary Queen of Scots, unlike you’ve ever seen her. Although, there is a bit of the sass and attitude she has been historically known for— but in this story, as we’re told from the start, it’s all love and friends and happy endings. The way many of us who are caught tied up in the bonds of mixed religious ancestry might have preferred the turn of history to have taken. A silly and lighthearted, at times nonsensical adventure—a bit of grand fun overall.
