It wasn't historically accurate at all ( not just talking about the horrible casting- I love cultural diversity but there weren't black,asian, and hispanic people walking freely around England in the 1500s) but just in how they handled the story ( a queen would NEVER be allowed in her bedchambers alone with a man that wasn't her husband). It was horribly paced ( literally the next scene would jump years with no explanation) and they managed to make one of the most dramatic periods in England dull! I couldn't wait to leave
