Attention, royals fans. There's a steamy show currently sitting in Netflix’s top ten that looks to me like a must-watch.

The show in question? None other than The Royals, which stars Elizabeth Hurley, Alexandria Park and William Moseley. The series made its debut in 2015, ran for four seasons and was canceled in 2018 after receiving mixed reviews from critics and viewers during its run. The soapy show centers around the drama and chaos of a royal family when the heir to the throne dies suddenly. As is often the case with shows and movies, The Royals is gaining a newfound popularity on Netflix, currently holding the tenth spot on the platform’s top ten shows.

Not every review has been mixed—quite the opposite. One Rotten Tomatoes commenter wrote, "This would be one of the best and greatest TV shows I've ever watched in a long time, but I'm so upset that they didn't release season 5, a it’s one of the top popular shows on Netflix, I wish I could keep watching. Well done to the people who created it!"

Another echoed the sentiment, saying, "Great writers, characters and crew. Constantly moving storyline, there are surprises around every corner. Any lead character could carry the show. Must-see TV!"

Described as sexy and scandalous, The Royals is a show that keeps you on your toes, according to those who have watched, and I, for one, can’t wait to add it to my weekend watchlist.

You can stream The Royals on Netflix now.
