Amazon Prime Video's latest show "My Lady Jane" is everywhere! Is it worth the watch?

The show is based on the novel, My Lady Jane, by Cynthia Hand, Brodi Ashton, and Jodi Meadows, and retells the story of historical figure Lady Jane Grey with a fantasy twist. Lots of romance and humor fills this show and is definitely a good time.
