The Royals (Netflix) Review :-

In Netflix’s The Royals, we follow the chaotic dynamic between a high-powered CEO and an immature prince as they collide, connect, and clash repeatedly under the guise of doing business together. It’s a familiar trope—opposites attract—but this version doesn’t bring anything fresh to the table. Ishaan Khatter plays Aviraaj Singh and Bhumi Pednekar stars as Sophia Kanmani Shekhar, yet despite their star power, the chemistry is flat and their performances lack the spark needed to carry the story. The show stretches across eight exhausting episodes where both too much and too little happen, often leaving the narrative feeling incoherent and muddled.

The core issue lies in the show’s confused tone—it tries to juggle breezy rom-com vibes with heavy-handed drama, but ends up delivering neither effectively. Both leads are portrayed as erratic and emotionally immature, making it difficult to connect with or root for them. Their frequent meltdowns and poor choices turn them into their own worst enemies, leaving viewers more frustrated than empathetic. With protagonists who seem incapable of growth or self-awareness, The Royals struggles to make us care about their journey.

It’s unfortunate, then, that neither Khatter nor Pednekar manages to bring much charisma or chemistry to their roles. Pednekar often comes across as stiff and one-note, weighed down by an insufferably written character. Khatter, meanwhile, leans heavily on his boyish charm and physique—which the creators clearly took note of, given how often he’s shirtless—but beyond the eye candy, there’s little depth to his performance or character arc. Despite this, their intimate scenes do manage to sizzle with a surprising realism, even if their overall connection feels unconvincing.

The supporting cast doesn’t fare much better. The series is overcrowded with secondary characters, many of whom feel like they exist purely to check diversity boxes or provide forced comic relief. Few have any meaningful presence or development. The narrative itself lacks compelling drama, devolving instead into petty squabbles that feel more like playground spats than adult conflict. A handful of jokes land, and some plot twists are mildly engaging—but most of the surprises are telegraphed far too early, leaving little to truly hook the viewer.

Ultimately, The Royals’ biggest flaw is that it’s just plain boring. There’s virtually nothing in the series that sparks real excitement or emotional investment. After a few episodes, the plot flatlines so completely that watching feels more like a chore than entertainment. The sluggish pacing and lifeless dialogue make it easy to zone out—or even skip entire scenes—without missing a thing. Nora Fatehi does add a bit of flair, and while her character doesn’t have much to contribute to the story, she remains one of the few bright spots in an otherwise dull ensemble.

By the time the show stumbles to its (entirely predictable) cliffhanger, any hope for redemption is long gone. The ending is more frustrating than intriguing, and the series as a whole feels like a baffling misfire. What was pitched as juicy, dramatic escapism turns out to be a tedious string of missed opportunities, leaving you more exasperated than entertained.

Final Thought

With a title like The Royals, you’d expect the series to exude elegance, wit, and charm—but aside from Ishaan Khatter’s well-sculpted abs providing occasional visual relief, there’s little here to keep you engaged. It commits the cardinal sin of entertainment: it’s painfully boring. While casual viewers might find it passable as background noise, you’d honestly be better off rewatching Bridgerton or Downton Abbey—shows that actually know how to make royal drama compelling.
