Anne Boleyn

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
