The humour is well used, and doesn’t ever really feel forced, and it helps to balance out what could otherwise be a quite dark story. The fact that the show doesn’t take itself one hundred percent seriously is a major bonus towards making it a lot of fun. There’s an episode towards the end of the series that turns into a drunken murder mystery inspired by Cluedo, complete with the playing pieces, it’s so good. When her longtime friend Isaac (Tim Rozon) arrives with information about Elida’s mother she sets out to find her with the help of Isaac and mechanic Amae (Alex McGregor), whilst being hunted by the deadly Commander Lazaro (Paul du Toit).ĭespite the serious nature of the show, and the dark themes that it deals with, Vagrant Queen has a great sense of humour, and isn’t afraid to throw some downright silly moments in to break up the main quest to find Elida’s missing family. It’s revealed, however, that Elida is actually princess Eldaya, the ruling monarch of the planet Ariopa, who’s been forced into hiding following a political coup. The show follows Elida (Adriyan Rae), a scavenger and outlaw. It’s more concerned with having fun and telling a good story than wowing the audience with empty visual spectacle. Vagrant Queen feels like a show that would have been at home in the 90s or early 2000s. At a time when television shows seem to be competing to be the next Game of Thrones, big budget shows filled with sprawling storylines and massive casts, it’s nice to get a series that feels a little smaller.
