The Reign: The Complete Third Season (2015 - 2016/Warner DVD Set)



Picture: B- Sound: B- Extras: D Episodes: C



The Reign has entered its Third Season and is basically a medieval soap opera aimed towards teenage girls more than anyone else. The highlights being great costumes and production design, the show ultimately suffers from bloated dialogue and one dimensional yapping in period tongue. With not a single un-pretty face in sight, the show is in many ways the complete opposite of Game of Thrones, but is no doubt hoping to pick up some of its viewers during the offseason.


The show stars Adelaide Kane, Toby Regbo, Torrance Coombs, Celina Sinden, Anna Popplewell, Celina Sinden, and Megan Follows to name a few.


Picking up where the second season left off, Reign begins its third season with Mary and Francis working together and leaving behind their past differences. We are also introduced to the Court of Elizabeth ''Virgin'' Queen of England. Still early in her reign, Elizabeth constantly likes to make men aware of her power ye struggles to against Mary and Elizabeth who are all out to backstab the other and land on top.


Eighteen episodes span four discs including Three Queen, Two Tigers, Betrothed, Extreme Measures, The Price, In a Clearing, Fight or Flight, The Hound and the Hare, Our Undoing, Wedlock, Bruises That Lie, Succession, No Way Out, Strange Bedfellows, To The Death, Safe Passage, Clans, Intruders, and Spiders in a Jar.


Presented in standard definition with a widescreen aspect ratio of 1.78:1 and a lossy Dolby Digital 5.1 track, the show looks and sounds fine for the DVD format, but could look a bit more textured and detailed on high definition Blu-ray echoing our complain with the previous season DVD set (reviewed elsewhere on this site). Still, it looks better than the original tradedown-to-SD broadcasts and is presented commercial free, so it moves faster.


No extras.
