Last night our PBS aired "Charles III" on Masterpiece Theater, a drama about Prince Charles ascending the throne after the death of his mother. It was awful.
The entire premise is silly; the dialogue sounded as if it has been lifted from Shakespeare on one of his off days; the acting was stiff; and Kate and William were depicted as schemers who dragged brother Harry along in their take-over plot.
Good heavens, if this is the best Masterpiece Theater can do, I think I'll just skip it and watch "Mike and Molly"!
