Look, this show is absurd. It's the French Revolution with zombies and literally nothing makes sense. It was cancelled after one season and that's definitely for the best, but it was still kind of fun to watch. Claire and I talked about royalty, fantasy and weird nationalism in a show that has absolutely no subtlety.
We discussed the "Magical Negro" trope, which is explained further here
Claire mentioned Lady Oscar, and I recommended A Place of Greater Safety
