No, it`s supposed to be a drama. In the beginning the producers seemed to go for "teen soap in medieval times" but with the current storyline appear to have gone "fuck it, we will make a dark comedy". Or maybe it`s unintentional but I often myself laughing uncontrollably, more than in most comedies.

And who know that Anne of Green Gables would grow up to be Catherine di Medici? She is the most magnificent character and the best actress on the show.
