7.5/10
Blood, Sex and Royalty, drags on a bit... but its value for what it does offer is satisfying enough. It entertains, it informs, and it feels preciously modern for a tale 500 years old. Go to Full Review

2/5
There isn’t even a classy Tudorbethan soundtrack, with sackbuts and viols. Instead, the action plays out to French hip hop and American soul tracks while the script would be at home in a teen soap. Go to Full Review

andrew k @Andrewjp 12/03/2022 Modern take on the Henry 8th and Anne Boleyn saga with modern dialogue and music . Not as raunchy as advertised , production is good and the 3 episodes offer easy, good entertainment. Not sure old Hens and Annie had the model looks of the actors but who cares.
