    Ah, I think we can all guess what the mysterious disease is. Hint, it's not rickets.

    Good fun in a KINGDOM sort of way, with plucky commoners, dastardly aristocrats and the real reason Albert Guillotine got inventing.

    The rich-feeding-on-the-poor subtext is so blatant it's probably text - the disease is called "blue blood".

    Joseph Guillotine for those fact-checking my French history.

    Don't bother. Season one ended on a cliff-hanger and then the series got cancelled.

    Thanks Netflix.
