This episode was so good and opened up so much more stories. I'm forever disappointed in e!'s decision to cancel the series. It was canceled due to stories coming out about the creater but I don't understand why they couldnt have just gotten rid of him. I want to see what happens and hate this open ending. It deserved another season and it sucks that other shows (like mark Schwann's problematic one tree hill got to continue for nine seasons but this couldnt even get a fifth just to wrap it up. Very disappointed in all the decision makers about the fate of this show.

I put off watching the finale until now because I had a feeling it was going to be bad considering the show got cancelled. I gave in because I wanted something to watch during quarantine and thought I'd give it a shot. As a season finale it's a good episode but as a series finale... it was bad. I'm so sad the show got cancelled I would have loved to see how it continued after that shocking ending.

I certainly hope the intent was to do a fifth season because the finale of Season 4 (which is also the series finale) sucks! It is a lousey way to end the series, leaving it wide open for what happens next. I love the show, the actors, the sets, and the wild storylines. It is a serious letdown to have it all end with a huge question mark.
Ten stars for the show in general. 1 star for episode 10 - because it was the series finale. I would give it 10 stars if there was another season or at least another episode to wrap things up!

This show needs to continue, this show was getting better and better, and this episode was a great cliffhanger but its a shame that they cancelled the show because of the inappropiate behavior of the director. They could just change him and continue with the fabulous story. This show deserves at least one more season. I hope the show gets rescue and can be concluded properly.

I don't think The Royals could find its full audience at E! Sadly, scandal and lackluster ratings forced E! To cancel on a cliffhanger unresolved story. Sadly, no other network would step up. A show like this, IMO, does better in streaming. The IMDb rating certainly shows reviewers like the show.
While it lasted audiences were treated to a grand visual spectacle, romance, and palace intrigue. Like the intrigues of any number of historical dramas but with a contemporary setting reflecting contemporary mores. The story evokes great Shakespeare's tragedy and farce, without being too farcical but never too serious. The costumes and sets are gorgeous, the acting well done, the writing witty and intense. Dialogue well done.
Now we will never know if King Liam gets his crown. So the season IV ending is how it ends. An unresolved feeling. Pity such a great story did not wrap properly.
As it stands, the loyal audience lost thanks to one man's indiscretions.

I really loved the show and in my opinion it didn't loose any of its charm. Although the story lines took sometimes a bit of a weird turn, the characters were solid and has grown to me.
As a season final this episode was great, with a lot of unanswered questions. But as a series final this was one of the worst in my opinion.
There was no closure whatsoever, only big question marks, open story lines and a unsatisfied feeling.
If there was only one more episode or season to wrap it up nice and proper, that would make a huge difference. This show didn't deserve a ending like this.
