Throughout history queer relationships have existed in many forms but "Mary & George" highlights a royal queer relationship between between George Villiers (Nicholas Galitzine) and King James I (Tony Curran).
Based on the book, "The King's Assassin: The Secret Plot to Murder James I," the Starz period drama is about the Villiers — mother and son Mary (Julianne Moore) and George, plotting to snake their way into the good graces of King James. The duo gained social and political power as a result of Mary molding George into a tool to appeal to James and his sexual and romantic desires.
