The Tudors - Further Thoughts
May. 15th, 2007 10:43 pmMy review of Episode 1x01 from quite some time ago.
So I've now watched up through Episode 1x06 and I'm ambivalent. I'm not annoyed enough with the writers to stop watching, but they made a very crucial mistake in the second episode and have been paying for it ever since. Or at least the mistakes started in the second episode and built upon themselves. And, in spite of said annoyances, there are several extremely good and compelling performances that are keeping my attention.
( This will be very long. I have a great deal to say. )
Anyway, I'm still watching the series, so it's obviously not turned me off completely. And it its terribly pretty even if the costumes occasionally make me wonder if they're even trying to be authentic (Katharine is the only one who hasn't had any major faux pas, and even she wore a dress at one point that seemed about twenty years too early). But Anne! Sigh. I've been fascinated by her since I was a little girl and they've done absolutely *nothing* with her. Ah well. That's television, I suppose.
