Versailles should have continued with a new season. Best period series ever. Surely the writers can come up with additional storylines of his reign after the “finale” since there IS more to tell. To stop the fantastic acting and story is beyond logic. Come on Producers…you’ll put more money in your pockets too! If I could vote a million times I would! Sad Sad Sad
