Oct 30, 2019Seems like a History Channel version of Catherine's reign (not there is anything wrong with that), but Catherine keeps saying the same thing over and over. Jason Clarke is badly miscast.

Nov 5, 2019Acting is fine, the production values are stellar, the material is fascinating, and yet i find it disjointed and rushed. I want to know a lot more about all the characters, but all i get is history highlights. This would have been much better as a series starting at her marriage and ending here.

It helps to have Clarke, Roxburgh and Kinnear, three of the best going, around her, broad-shouldered men in this women’s world. If the dialogue is occasionally over-expository, that’s understandable, and on the whole the starry team makes cantering over all this historical turf look surprisingly intimate. Catherine’s not quite great, yet, but she’s very good.

The parts are all good – the scenery, the performances, the script – but they add up to slightly less than their sum. Perhaps it is the extra exposition that makes it feel too ponderous and prevents it from taking flight.

In short, there's a zesty story to be told here. But it mostly isn't in this miniseries.
