Young Royals - Review: would you like to be a Prince?

Young Royals is a Swedish show about a prince being integrated into an elite boarding school. He is sent there, after a viral video on the Internet creates a scandal.

A teenager in the middle of an identity crisis, as any other teen. Yet, he has responsibilities. He is a Prince.

Good Characters

One thing that I’d like to highlight about this show is the quality of the characters. There are no shallow characters. Each one of them has a personal story, their pains, and their struggles. Everyone has good and bad sides. All of them need understanding.

August, the Prince’s cousin, is one of the main characters, and he is absolutely hateful. However, his complicated life story makes him more human to the viewer.

I also feel the need to reinforce the fact that the teen characters in the show are really teens. Instead of the 20’s years old actors American TV put on as teen characters, these kids are very young, with acne and all the “flaws” an average teenager has. This might look like a detail to you, but it is pretty important.

Humiliation and Bullying

Unfortunately, you can’t look at a teen show without touching the biggest problems nowadays - humiliation, bullying. They are present, and we can’t ignore them. You don’t need to exaggerate and have murders or fatal accidents to approach the topic.

Young Royals did it perfectly. And don’t forget that public humiliation and cyberbullying gain a new dimension to Wilhelm. After all, he is the Prince.

Fresh perspective

With Netflix, you can discover a series of international shows from different countries. And why should you do it? Because they always bring something new - new perspectives, new approaches, new cultures. I’m in love with watching shows from different parts of the world.

This particular show is totally worth your time. It has good characters, light, music. Everything is perfectly set to give us a great show. Besides, it only has six episodes. You watch it in a blink of an eye. Totally worth checking.

Conversations with a Killer: The Ted Bundy Tapes

This is not the sort of show which I usually talk about on this blog. However, as a psychologist, I’m usually quite curious in regards to criminals and their minds; and one of these days I started watching this documentary on Netflix . Taking into consideration the kind of thing this is, I can’t say I ‘liked’ it. I mean what you see in there is nothing to like, but I was rather terrified, which is probably the usual response. Nonetheless, it was definitely a good documentary. The eyes of a killer Everything displayed in this story was terrible. The descriptions, Bundy’s posture, everything seemed like some sort of horror show, putting into perspective what we may consider to be lucky or unlucky in this life. Before I even start watching it, I read somewhere that this was the kind of thing you shouldn’t watch alone. Sounds accurate right now. At the time, and considering my, mostly academic, experience, I didn’t think that this could actually be so upsetting.
