What to Know

Critics Consensus

Though the show around her isn't quite up to snuff, there's no denying the pleasure of Jodie Turner-Smith's powerful turn as the one-and-only Anne Boleyn.

John Anderson Wall Street Journal 12/10/2021
Everyone does what he or she can with an anemic script, notably Barry Ward as Cromwell, who has the bad luck to be operating in the shadow of Mark Rylance and Wolf Hall. But so is "Anne Boleyn." Go to Full Review Caroline Framke Variety 12/09/2021
In tracing the final days of Anne's life, this adaptation does its best to take her seriously as a woman, mother and, in some of its most interesting asides, as a boss to a roomful of dissatisfied ladies-in-waiting. Go to Full Review Ben Dowell The Times (UK) 12/09/2021
A courageous if ill-fated effort. A bit like Anne's life, really. Go to Full Review Tara Bennett Paste Magazine 12/08/2021
7.9/10
Anne Boleyn and Turner-Smith make the dusty, distant history feel immediate and pertinent once more. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

Noa T @RT37929954 May 21 This is white erasure.. Absolutely disgusting. This rubbish should never be normalized. See more Edward L @Glyndower Apr 8 Probably the worst example of 'woke' casting to date. Why did I waste my time. Unwatchable. See more DA H @dahling Dec 5 I tried to watch it 3 times. i just found it hard to watch and listen to, the way the show portrayed our the characters's personalities was utter dribble. It was an awful adaption of historical characters.I should know, as many of them are my ancestors Boring See more rebecca p @RT04282573 03/26/2025 No care for history at all. If HR did a film about AB this would be it! Terrible nonsense 😒 See more Alan S @RT05838761 09/15/2024 Utter rubbish! Why can't they stop messing around with figures from history??
