24. The Royals

Seasons: 3 (2 available with subscription)

Creator: Mark Schwahn

Starring: Elizabeth Hurley, William Moseley, Alexandra Park, Tom Austen, Jake Maskall

There’s something marvelous to be said about the art of the guilty pleasure, and Mark Schwahn happens to be a master at his craft. The creator of the E! Network hit series The Royals also created the teen drama classic One Tree Hill. Both series tell stories about real-life humans in completely wild worlds, and that’s why we love them.

Loosely adapted from the novel Falling For Hamlet by Michelle Ray and the Shakespeare play itself, The Royals picks up with the turmoil in the fictional monarchy following the death of Prince Robert and the ensuing events of hedonism, scandal, and murder. Elizabeth Hurley wows as the deliciously devilish Queen Helena, and Alexandra Park brings levity to the series as Princess Eleanor.

Even though The Royals can be enjoyed as a tried and true guilty pleasure, the series delves into the humanity behind the royalty of this family living their lives under the microscope of the crown. It’s fun, it’s ruthless, and it’s the perfect mindless binge on Amazon Prime Video.
