Farewell to a historical drama

Regarding “A Woeful Adieu to TV’s Sun King” [Oct. 21]: I must be the third American who has been addicted to the “Versailles” series on cable and BBC. In fact, I have downloaded the BBC app so I could watch the final season of “Versailles” as it was shown in the U.K. I’ve seen every last episode, just as TV critic Lorraine Ali said she has. I will not reveal the end but just hint that perhaps it was left in such a way that it could be continued.

I loved the show for every reason: the style, the scenery, the drama, the soap opera-esque quality and more. The overall historical essence is somewhat accurate since without social media or any other type of recording devices, we cannot know what was said in the palace. If some writers and producers want to move ahead to the years of the French Revolution, perhaps a series based on “A Tale of Two Cities” by Charles Dickens is in order.

OMG, thank you for writing about my favorite show. I found it mid-second season and started bingewatching from the beginning. I can’t wait for each episode. It’s just glorious, gorgeous fun.

Can’t they keep it going? Is there a write-in campaign or something somewhere? Chellie Campbell Los Angeles

I too am so very sad to see the Sun King and his minions leave the air. I guess I’m viewer No. 3 in Los Angeles. I am obsessed with “Versailles.” I don’t have Ovation TV but have watched seasons 1 and 2 at least four times. I adore Alexander Vlahos. I think his performance as Philippe has been outstanding. Anna Brewster did a wonderful job of making me despise her and I was overjoyed at her demise.

I am hopeful that Season 3 will come to Netflix so I’ll be able to see it. The richness of the costumes and sets was delicious and the depth of the characters was written and performed so well. Ellen McFadden Granada Hills
