Liked the series very much, but the historical inaccuracies are shocking! Firstly, Oliver Cromwell wasn't beheaded. The list is endless. Entertaining, but historians won't like it.
I have no idea how I managed to finish this given how tedious I found the entire second half of the show.
Definitely history lite, but very entertaining. I loved the series when it first came out. Seasons 1 and 2 are the best; the quality of the last two diminish quite a bit, in my opinion. Once they were done with Anne Boleyn, it seems like they didn’t know how to spruce up the rest of history, and just went with bland retelling of facts and events. Wives 3-6 had little personality or story to tell.
one of the best series i've ever seen****
Loved the show until the end.
Entertaining. I'm no historian so I can't dwell on what surely are inaccuracies, but the characters were written well, the drama was there and the look & feel were there. His majesty did whatever he wanted, that's for damn sure!
Feels a bit like Dallas or Denver Clan only a couple hundred years back. I don`t mind the fact that it´s not historical sound because it never claimed to be in the first place. It´s good entertainment.
One thing that is a bit disturbing production wise is that while some people in the series are getting older quite normal (especially the children), which suggest the time that has passed, it is not reflected in the appearance of the main characters as much.
Sexual scenes not needed!
Eu ainda não sei como eu comecei a ver essa série, mas fico feliz que tenha! Incrível!
I still don't know how I started watching this show, but I'm glad I did! Excellent!

I wish I had watched this when it was originally on but instead I found some free time and just decided to binge it through on Netflix. it really was fantastic, I realize that there can't be a lot of accuracy in drama series like these but I am a fan of all things tutor so it was a lot of fun to watch.. Great costuming and great performances and other than the loss of some heads which we all know is coming, it really wasn't hard on the eyes with excessive bloodshed. It did highlight the hardships era
