The casting in this series was disappointing from the very beginning. Both Ripley and Dickie appeared significantly older than their actual ages, looking like they were in their 50s. Although Dakota Fanning is 30, she appears much younger, around 24, which made her seem out of place among the cast. The decision to cast Sting's daughter as Freddie was confusing, as it took me a while to realize she was meant to portray a male character. This casting choice left me feeling bewildered, almost as if the production was trying to gaslight me into thinking that she was a man. The cinematography was stunning, though the abundance of cat scenes felt excessive. Despite these issues, I found the series enjoyable and would rate it a 7.5.

As an Argentine, I was naturally curious about this story. I recently finished watching the final episode, although I wasn't particularly eager to do so. While the narrative seemed accurate, it struggled to deliver a compelling tale, and the timeline felt disorganized. Some actors delivered outstanding performances, such as Mr. Zorreguieta. However, I found the casting of Maxima to be a misstep. Delfina Chaves portrayed her more like a perpetually out of place, hungover party girl, not particularly a classy, responsible financier like Maxima herself . The prince's performance was acceptable, albeit somewhat bland, and their on screen chemistry felt forced. The cinematography was impressive, locations were not real. The quality of the episodes varied significantly , some were engaging, while others were quite dull. Although a second season is planned, I suspect I'll forget about this series within a week.
