    The premise

    While on a last-minute European holiday, a young woman finds herself in the middle of a real-life fairy tale when a chance meeting with a handsome local leads to something more.

    How unusual is it?

    Honestly? Not very — and that's the charm. It plays the hits, which is exactly the point for a cozy night in.

    Why we’d put this one on

    Straightforward fairy-tale wish fulfillment, and sometimes that is exactly the order. Merritt Patterson plays a young woman on a spur-of-the-moment European holiday who has a chance meeting with a handsome local, played by Jack Donnelly, that turns out to be the start of something bigger than a vacation fling. Samantha Bond adds some regal presence. At a weirdness of 3 there are no curveballs here, just pretty scenery, a charming lead pair, and the cozy promise of a commoner stumbling into a royal romance. Comfort viewing for the crown-and-castle crowd.
