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

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.
