    One of The Spanish Princess’ greatest achievements is making Catherine’s journey to England and her early days with Arthur in the Tudor court one that feels intimate and personal in scope. ... The Spanish Princess wonderfully makes us want to follow her wherever she leads.

However, if you are not into royalty dramas, this show probably won't be your cup of tea. I also love how this show has a Muslim character and doesn't ignore the fact that people of color lived in England in the 16th century.… Full Review »
