A clever, thoughtful tribute to 15 years of superior tv/film history. Echoes slipped in all through of iconic little moments celebrating characters, storyline and epic scenes all put together in a way that moved the saga on into an uncertain future. Spectacular on every level. Congratulations and thank you

Quiet brooding film demonstrating the cruel and superficial nature of life in a Roman Catholic community ruled by fear and secrecy.

Loved it. Loved the story, the pace was perfect. The music. The message!

Took a couple of episodes to get to know the characters but now absolutely hooked. Brilliant

As a story and a piece of drama it was Excellent. Of course it couldnt have happened quite like that but its entertainment not a documentary. Suspend belief for Pete's sake!! Sorry unintentional pun.🤭

No loose ends, lots of surprises, dark humour that really worked. Brilliantly acted . 10/10

Funny, fast moving, entertaining, shocking, based on truth. Relevant to today's accusation and victim culture. Fabulous acting. A very entertaining film with a true story that actually has something to teach us.

Im all for making Shakespeare and the works accessible and exciting for children and younger people. But we shouldn't dumb it down to badly acted, poorly directed, sensational scenes from an imagined tudor world obviously filmed on a low budget. This portrayal of William Shakespeare is boring. His character is boring, already middle aged in episode 1 and he has no voice. None of the 'actors' speak, (proof of a low budget) Shakespeare's work doesn't need 21st century gimmicks. Presumably the money and creativity went on buying in all the 'stars' to act their enthusiasms. Very disappointing and hardly a worthy tribute to or celebration of his genius. AND not worthy of a midweek prime spot on BBC2.

Absolutely terrible. Unnecessary. Abandon it now.

Weak plot to crimes, patronising characterisation. Cast cannot be happy playing such cardboard. Great shame. Started out full of promise but got worse as it went on. I just dont care about Martha at all.
