Contentar Best movie of this year hands down!

Onlinewsma Absolutely Brilliant!

Guillelmina The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.

Isbel A terrific literary drama and character piece that shows how the process of creating art can be seen differently by those doing it and those looking at it from the outside.

craignobbs I found this series really good and thoroughly enjoyable. The acting was excellent and portrayed Elizabeth York as a young, innocent girl who was the "pawn" in her mother's plan, ( and Margaret Beaufort), to restore a country where war had ravaged the land and left very little for the people to build on. Women during this period were seen as "man's provider" - very few women ran their own household or owned land/property. This was a man's world and women had to do as they were told.

Freedom060286 This series strays farther from real history than it's predecessor The White Queen, and is generally not as well-written.Every single major character in this series really existed. But there are many historical inaccuracies, including some that are very degrading to the memory of real historical people.1) Henry VII is seen choking and striking his mother, but in reality he was very devoted to her and would never harm her.2) Perkin Warbeck and Margaret Gordon's baby is murdered on the order of Margaret Beaufort, but there is no historical record of the couple having had a baby.3) The incest between Richard III and Lizzie which is frequently mentioned (especially in the first episode) very likely never happened. It is extremely unlikely that Elizabeth of York was in love with her uncle.4) Margaret Beaufort, a very pious woman, never murdered Jasper Tudor by suffocating him with a pillow. He died of natural causes in his 60s. 5) The boy Henry VIII has a ceremony interrupted by Elizabeth Woodville as he is named Duke of York, but this ceremony took place years after Elizabeth died in 1492. Henry was just one year old when she died. 6) The Duchess of Burgundy was not arrested in London, it is very unlikely she was there at all when Warbeck was imprisoned and even more unlikely that Margaret Pole was delivering letters to her to aid in a revolt. 7) Warbeck and Edward were not executed on the same day.8) Elizabeth of York was not much involved in politics, and was very likely much a less assertive person.I've come to expect historical inaccuracies in movies and TV programs, but 1) to 4) listed above add nothing positive to the drama and in fact make it less realistic and less interesting.On the positive side, the cast performed very well. Jodie Comer, Jacob Collins-Levy, Essie Davis, Caroline Goodall, Rebecca Benson and Michelle Fairley perform very well. And one of my favorite actors, Vincent Regan, was the perfect person to play Jasper Tudor.

ssra_25 1. The cast was great (particularly Jodie Comer and Michelle Fairley);2. There are some clichés yes, but they are well presented and they warm your heart in a story which, in the absence of romance, would only be about plotting, war and politics. Besides, Elizabeth and Henry loved each other in real life as well, so I fail to see where the problems lies;3. The story is pretty good and the main story-line respects history...for the most part at least. There are, of course, inconsistencies, which is normall since this is not a documentary. So when it comes to little details (e.g. conversations, emotional reactions) don't expect 100% historical accuracy. No script can possibly be 100% historically accurate due to the lack of historical information. I thought I should mention this because some people complained about that aspect. Having such an expectation is completely unrealistic. And for the record, The Tudors weren't 100% historically accurate either. Neither was Rome, Kingdom of Heaven and not even Band of Brothers. The one thing that I did not particularly like is that the Elizabeth of York shown, differs in some ways from what is historically known. All-in-all, I recommend this show, especially as a follow-up to The White Queen. However, I for one liked The White Princess more due to the cast. And I'm sorry to see the show won't be renewed. Thank God we have like a zillion cop movies out there... :( (yes, it's an irony).

mrskv78 Only negative would be that it is one season only. I loved the well played story lines and extra drama added. The outfits worn by all the actors and actresses. It was really very well cast. I think they could of extended the story towards the end but nevertheless it had a decent ending as it was in history. I would not compare it with other shows about the royals as each show brings something unique and special to the table. Definitely worth watching!
