Versailles has something for everyone - from the history lovers to the LGBTQ+ community rarely represented in the genre, thanks to its steamy plotlines.
It first aired in 2015 and later wrapped in 2018, but still holds a strong fanbase.
One fan shared on Rotten Tomatoes: 'This is perhaps the best costume drama of all time. I loved the depiction of Louis as both visionary and beset with fraternal jealousy.'
Another penned: 'Probably my favorite show of all-time. Court intrigue, decadence, conversion. Like a historical Game Of Thrones. They need to bring it back! #SaveVersailles.'
A third wrote: 'I really believe this show is sadly underrated. It is stunningly shot, costumed, written and performed. George Blagden plays Louis XIV with a subdued strength, will and cunning that is often underestimated by his enemies and friends alike.'
Meanwhile, Deborah Ross shared with the Daily Mail: 'This is entertainment in the tradition of The Tudors except that it is well performed...'
The first episode of the third series of the big budget period drama was dubbed the raunchiest, as it left viewers more than a little hot under the collar with lashings of tousled hair, clandestine meetings and regal romps.

Those watching were warned as there were 'explicit scenes' and while some viewers clearly knew the show had form when it came to steamy encounters, others were left wide-eyed at the X-rated material that followed.

It was axed after a third series.
Speaking to The Sun, a source said: 'The BBC made a big decision when it bought Versailles from Canal Plus, particularly with all the full-frontal nudity.
'At first, viewers were open to all the pornographic scenes but slowly the BBC saw Versailles ratings drop to just one million viewers -- and it seems to have had the same effect in France too.
'They believe it will have run its course after the third series, which will see Louis XIV achieve absolute power, so they have decided there won't be a series four,' they concluded.
