My Lady Jane

It is quite a rare thing to find a show that is able to capture your attention right off the bat, without stumbling or falling short of living up to its premise. This show has so much going for it, starting with the lovable characters, who you can't help but find entertaining despite their appalling actions. The writing is very funny without sacrificing the seriousness of the situations the characters are thrown in. And the cast is all so incredibly talented, everything about this show works perfectly together.

This show doesn't need to find its footing, it's already an incredibly well made television show. What this show needs is support and time to make people aware of this show, so that they may fall in love with its witty writing, riveting plot and beating heart.

This is a hate letter to prime video, please do not give up on this rare gem of a show.

This show is a fun ride. If you don't take it too seriously, you'll love this show. I binged it all in one day, and can't wait for season 2.

The show seems to be Amazon's version of Bridgerton and I'm here for it. Unlike Bridgerton, I took this show to be somewhat of a satire.

The main characters are enticing and charismatic. The casting is well done, and you'll find yourself wanting the villain to be desperately killed by the end of it. And I think that always make a great villain.

Give the show a chance, and I think you'll enjoy it as well (that is if you are into romantic period pieces meets unrealistic fantasy). Just remember it's ridiculous and that's okay.

You absolutely need to watch this show! It offers a brilliant fusion of the whimsical elements found in "The Princess Bride" and "Ella Enchanted," combined with the high-energy soundtrack vibes of "A Knight's Tale." It's easily among the best new series I've seen in years, delivering top-tier entertainment. If you haven't watched it yet, you're definitely missing something special.

The plot is gripping, ensuring you're engaged throughout, while the narrator adds a clever mix of suspense and humor. The modern music, exclusively performed by female artists, adds an empowering and refreshing layer to this historical drama set in 1553. Moreover, the show features a powerful female lead who commands the story with grace and depth. The chemistry between Emily Bader and Edward Bluemel is palpable, enhancing the story's appeal. This series not only stays true to the book but also leaves you on the edge of your seat, eager for more. It's truly an outstanding production, and I can't recommend it highly enough!

Not sure why people are giving it bad reviews due to lack of historical accuracy. Not only the trailers, but the first five minutes tell you this isn't one of those shows.

It's a lot of fun. I finished it in two nights, and I love the main couple together. The fantasy aspect is random, but the writing manages to make it work.

I knocked off two stars because the cinematography could've been better, and they could've forked out the money to use the original songs as opposed to the terrible cover songs they chose to use instead, (a cover of Kashmir. Really?) or songs that haven't already been used in so many other movies and/or shows. (The Donna's/Goldfrapp)

There is substance to the silly fantasy, well written, well acted, well designed. With strong female characters at every turn. Adventure, fantasy, romance, logic.

Modern music, modern slang, edgy storytelling, and enjoyable narration.

And while they change history, they remain true to many details about the time period and source material.

I love all of the characters, they are all well written.

Beyond worthy of a second season.

(9/10 only because I am a costume designer and there are a couple tiny period inaccuracies, but I still LOVE the costume design. Beautiful fabrics, well made costumes, clearly drew from period portraiture)
