Good movie but grossly overrated

Good films always raise compelling questions, whether the format is fiction or documentary fact.

The film may be flawed, but its message is not.

For historical purposes, I found this to be instructional to a degree. I have more questions now about the King, his court, and all the characters featured. The most exciting part of the series for me was Tom Cullen's appearances. It would have helped to be given more details about each character on all sides of the conflict. That would have required more parts than a mere three, but I would have stuck with it if we were given more fleshed out and developed characters, as it did feel rushed.

I was stunned as Kit Harington coasted through on a tide of blandness, and showed no sign of his vaunted GOT talents, yet he should have had a change of character for this role (duh). Stunningly boring. Even at only 3 episodes, it felt as torturous as what was happening to the Catholics. Nothing remotely like Wolf Hall (which was all this was not). Amateur directing, writing, and acting (Liv Tyler may be a treat, but she sounds like Arwen in LOTR here). Wholly terrible and not even lit well.

the subject is a part of history i am not familiar in details with. so i did hope to know more. i could hardly sit through all three episodes. one hour of history channel i saw before was far more informative, much better and way more interesting. big names obviously do not make a great show. as i said in the beginning, bland and utterly boring.

I was excited to see a historical portrayal, which I guess is a fair example of what I saw. However the constant beating of the "poor catholic" drum rings very loudly for a largely oppressive regime. One acknowledgment of Spanish - read foreign - Catholics torturing Protestants, is not really the kind of honesty required of a historical drama.
