I'm now binging on this series. It's about King Louis XIV and the building of the Palace of Versailles. The King's brother Philippe is prominent in it. He's gay and there are some same-sex scenes.

Here are the actors in the show. Philippe Duke of Orleans, the King's brother and the Philippe the Chevalier de Lorraine are lovers.
