An insipid and tedious attempt at telling such a great story. Having watched The White Queen, White Princess and The Spanish Princess which are all wonderful, this series certainly fell short. The writing was not only inaccurate (all the F-bombs felt highly unnecessary) but the dialogue fell completely flat. The portrayal of Elizabrth, one of history's most beloved icons, was a lacklustre performance all round, the only saving grace were the compelling performances of Edward, Lady Jane and Princess Mary. A mark surely missed, how disappointing!
