User Reviews

I'd rather go blind

As much as I loved My Mad Fat Diary (and boy did I love it), Jodie Comer as Elizabeth of York is THE miscast of 2017. She is simply awful in her role, acting like a 20th century brat and not like the dignified though brave and fiery Elizabeth of York. She doesn't feel neither sincere nor likable, and though I admit, the script is partially to blame, I still feel like Freya Mavor would have been a MUCH better choice. Now, as for the rest of the cast. King Henry does his best, and I do believe that Michelle Fairley took a role that is beneath her, which bothers me more than I dare to admit, but I still believe they were a good choice. Vincent Regan as Jasper, however, was a GREAT choice. Spot on. Loved him! I do not understand all the hate for Essie Davis as the Dowager Queen, as I believe her to be just the right choice. She is suppose to be the way she is and honestly, the mere fact that I am not annoyed by her presence on the screen is gift enough when watching this show. As I mentioned above, the script is far from genius, more like a mash up of Reign and The Vampire Diaries (not a compliment), but honestly, so was the White Queen. All in all, my expectations were low, yet somehow I was still left disappointed. Thanks for that, Starz!
