Season 1 Review: This was a masterfully drawn portrayal of courtly intrigue. And while the cautious tempo took a little adjusting to, sumptuous production values and regal acting added up to a right royal triumph. Read full review

Season 1 Review: Anne Boleyn proves that a modern spin on a historical milestone doesn’t have to be radical to make its mark. A dazzling showcase of talent, that cements Turner-Smith as one of the finest emerging actors working today. Read full review

Season 1 Review: Some of the dialogue and phrases used pulled me out of the drama (“trot on” and “woman to woman” spring to mind). ... That aside, the series brilliantly captures the essence of the doomed Anne Boleyn: a woman whose power and intelligence threatened the toxic, patriarchal Tudor court. Read full review

The Independent Adam White

Season 1 Review: Turner-Smith, the show’s star attraction, has a strong handle on the more arch dialogue, as well as Anne’s moments of quiet devastation. She's a good fit, too, for the show’s heightened soapiness. Read full review

Season 1 Review: Look, it’s not Wolf Hall. Nothing will ever be Wolf Hall again and although its shadow looms large, it looms unfairly and should be banished. On its own terms, Anne Boleyn works well enough. Read full review

Season 1 Review: “Anne Boleyn” is a cold retelling of the the English queen’s life that is only given life through Jodie Turner-Smith’s performance. Maybe if this had been a full-length series with more opportunity to expand the world out, there would be more reflection here. Read full review

TV Guide Magazine Matt Roush

Season 1 Review: A provocative take, but by starting the story with the clock already ticking on her doomed reign, it's all downhill for Anne stranding a simmering performance in a curiously pallid rehash. [6 - 19 Dec 2021, p.9]

Blackwashing european culture, imagine the backlash if Martin Luther King were to be portrayed by Steve Buscemi or something.

Garbage. What were they thinking on this one? What possible value does using a black actress to play a white historical figure? None is the answer. And Jodi Turner is not a good actress so doubly puzzling. We keep seeing this blackwashing and it makes even less sense than whitewashing does.

I'm sorry but this is not right. There is no reason at all to change a historical character's race for the sake of inclusion. As someone mentioned above, how would you feel if they made a movie about president obama interpreted by a white person?
This is not right, please respect history.
