    Really guys? Whats with the 10s? Henry the 8th wasn't some whiny twerp. He was a big powerful dude. The acting in this is sub par at best. The show goes nowhere fast, and focuses on the most boring crowd pleasing aspect of the story. Don't believe the myriad high scores. I watched a whole season and I don't know why. There is zero payoff.

    This is one historical drama that takes itself far more seriously than it deserves to, given the quality of the writing and the flatness of many performances.

    Henry and Anne nag and harp and tongue each other. It's like asking us to root for a particularly vapid reality TV couple.

    The acting, led by Rhys Meyers, is solid. The costumes and production are good and the dialogue smooth, though one wonders if clergy in the 16th century really used the word "newfangled."
