Anne Boleyn

Could not get past the writing on this show. So many weird, almost unnatural interactions.

I really tried to give this a chance but in the end it was a disappointment. The story has been told many times so to make it feel fresh, the story requires great dialogue and solid acting. Unfortunately it had neither. The dull dialogue couple with bad acting from Jodi Turner Smith made this excruciatingly dull.

This would be like casting Tom cruise as Mohammed Ali, or the last samari which was just as stupid but his role there I do not believe in anyway was political. Even Jesus movies using a white guy obviously is not accurate.. that has just been going on for 2 thousand years. Watching it I passed on because I know that no matter how amazing a job any of the actors or actresses do the politics behind the role is just silly.. I feel like this is more blatantly casted due to the modern social issues.... I think this is fine with fictional characters .. like Cast anyone as say Sherlock Holmes, Santa clause, ... maybe this show has 0 to do with history in which case the name is the stupid part... I'd feel the same if they casted Sally field as Michelle Obama in a story about them two. I'd feel it's political and a calculated idea and agenda.

What utter tripe is being served up to us. What is the point of setting a play or film in a time that could not have and did not support the alternative themes they producers are trying to convey.

It would have been much easier and acceptable to set it in any other time but the 16th century and declare it a work of fiction based on characters with similar names..that just about sums it up.

Why instead of taking the actual history out of "historical fiction" didn't they do the same thing as Bridgerton and create a story that isn't based in our traditional history but in an alternate world where the main character could tell us HER story, rather than the story of a white girl that's been told 100 times before. I'd be much more interested in that.
