Anne Boleyn

Where is the cancel culture outcry now? Or do you think it only goes one way?

The acting was okay, but I couldn't get past the fact that the producers and directors were trying to use shock value to get attention for a story that's been told in better ways. It just seems so.... exculpatory.

We tried watching it a couple times over a week and really couldn't get past the third episode before we gave up as we would never really watch it and it just became background noise. If you really have to have the TV on I'd recommend professional golf as it is better to have that in the background.

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

Just another soap opera in historical costumes like so many, lazy writing, acting is okay. Fishing for compliments by putting up some "controversy" by casting choices - yawn. All in all a disappointing affair, the costumes are the best feature in this production - not recommended for the connoisseur of the genre of historical drama.

This series has created a fairly large 'noise' through casting choices. It might be confusing to some as to why they chose to cast this way - well 1 episode is enough to know why.. It's the only way people would pay attention to it, the show cannot stand on it's own feet as a drama or even historic show. Really awful writing, and it skips over important historical information.

Not worth the data to watch it unfortunately.

It was a little hard not to get caught up in the hype that surrounded this series when it was first transmitted, all sorts of opinions and unpleasantness surrounded it, now that the dust has settled, i have tried to watch it again, away from the noise.

I hate to say it, but my original opinions still apply, personally I have no issue with the casting, I think Jodie is one very talented actress.

It's almost like a parody, the script is written in such a way, that it feels almost like a school play, the characters are wafer thin, these were some of Britain's most famous, infamous and important figures, the actions of these two shaped the country's future, and yet none of that came across, these characters were almost bland.

Some of the production looked cheap, manufactured items pop up here and there, which an overly critical eye would spot, it need to appear a little less polished, the pearly white teeth for example, did The Tudors have such expert dentists?

It was a brave attempt, but it just didn't work, the only thing they succeeded in doing, was making a fascinating story, dull. 3/10.
