The Royals - E! it took a while but the final 2 episodes really got there!

At the start, this show was sort of like that odd thing that doesn't sit quite right with you, but you can't stop looking at it.  There was something that didn't flow for me - I wasn't sure if it was because there was a "King" of England, or that the Queen was so damned gorgeous.  I mean, really?!  But I kept saying, "of course it's this way - they need something to pull in the audience....sex, drugs and rock & roll."  And the crazy twin siblings rebelling against the formality of their predestined monarchy lives... a bit overplayed.  But again, it's an hour-long show - gotta cram it in somehow.  So I wondered was it the writing, the cast, the over-done-ness of it all?  And then the last 3 episodes started to get good.  So I say, if you tried it and can't quite get into it... hang in there.  The season ends with a couple twists that make the thought of a future season a bit intriguing!  Thanks E!  Besides, I'm just happy the industry is getting scripted television back in the game!  YAY!
