The Serpent Queen Season 2 Review: Verbal Swords, Ruthless Ambitions Give The Show Its Edge
The Serpent Queen Season 2 is one of those rare sequels that get it right. The show has a very simple to do that - follow everything the first season did right, wait for the penny to drop and when it does, the loyal fans would be left feeling vindicated. This is perhaps the simplest formula to make a successful season 2 and one that most shows fail to nail. If we have not made it abundantly clear, we think The Serpent Queen nailed it!The Serpent Queen Season 2: PlotThe French royal family is on a “Grand Tour” of the country to connect the now-adult King Charles IX (Bill Milner) to his subjects and his mother, Catherine de’ Medici (Samantha Morton), is coming to the end of her time as Charles’ regent, which is difficult to swallow for the covert matriarch. Catherine has been trying to take advantage of the people's mistrust of the Catholic church and make France’s monarchy secular. With this strong premise, the show aptly shows what conspiracies, struggle for power and deep-rooted hatred ignited by ignorance can do.The Serpent Queen Season 2: Writing and DirectionThe show's unique edge has always been the clever, hard-hitting dialogues and the second season lives up to the legacy of the first one. Sharp-cutting jibes and wide-eyed ambitions, that lead to considerable amount of violence in the show are all well-paced and well-paced. The show is a treat for people who are not just interested in watching war films, and what goes behind declaring those wars intrigues them more.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ow4io7nYi-AThe Serpent Queen Season 2: PerformancesSamantha Morton is nothing short of excellent as Catherine de’ Medici. One of the driving forces behind the success of the first season, the actress has truly outdone herself in this one. Bill Milner as King Charles is perfect as a young ruler trying to gain favours he has limited knowledge of. Amrita Acharia, Enzo Cilenti, Ruby Bentall, and Raza Jaffrey deliver stand-out performances. The dynamics between the characters are made more interesting by the chemistry each actor shares with the rest of the cast. The ensemble cast elevates to show.The Serpent Queen Season 2: Final VerdictOverall, the show tests you and takes you to a time in France that has captured the imagination of many. But unlike most feeble attempts, The Serpent Queen Season 2 is not just honest but tenacious in its efforts to ably balance cunning plot twists, intelligent story-telling, and remarkable dialogues. This one is a must-watch!
