The Prince (2021)

Review by jgibson98

The Prince

7/10

It's a Decent Show That's Obviously Satire

I'm not a big reviewer but I decided to leave a review for this as I felt I had a more unique perspective than others. I'll start off by saying two important things: I am a fan of adult animation to begin with and regularly watch American Dad, South Park, Family Guy, etc; I regularly follow the Royal Family in the tabloids. As a result of the latter statement, I'm actually rather unbothered by the whole idea that this is "bullying" which many of the other reviews claim. Firstly, South Park and Family Guy are far more brutal in their satire. Secondly, it is extremely obvious - at least to me - that it is satire and is far from truth. It's pretty clear that Kate and William are in a happy marriage, and that they put in a lot of effort giving their children normal lives. It's worth noting they don't live in the palace. It's also abundantly clear that Harry and Megan aren't following the journey their characters follow. As a result, I'm really not bothered that the show is "bullying" when it's clear that it's all untrue, and knowing that the Royal Family are parodied constantly as is. All that said, do I think the show would have been more successful if they chose fictional characters who happened to be similar to the real life royal family? Absolutely. However, I don't think the show is awful. Owen & George's storyline is endearing and the story of the Flummery Tart is quite entertaining. I also love the gay representation of the head butler. It could be funnier but for a first season, I found it entertaining enough. I finished the whole season and I'd be willing to watch a second - so long as they continue the entertaining storylines and stay away from being too "real" with their satire.
