03/03/2021 Nunca assisti as obras de Shakespeare com medo de não entender a complexidade das peças, mas me vi completamente apaixonada pelas tragédias, após os 4 episódios da série. A atuação do elenco é magnífica! uma sardinha pra interpretação brilhante de Tom Hiddleston como príncipe Hal e posteriormente Henrique V See more andrei d @RT74856639 02/10/2021 Some great acting, especially Loki See more Gabriel Z @RT50130780 04/02/2020 This Richard II is dismal, unintentionally funny, unoriginal, unnecessary. Shakespeare did not write realistic speech, it is poetry, so these days it certainly requires a romantic, melodramatic lens to convince us. The greedy production value of this attempt only makes the mistakingly naturalistic performances more absurd and unbelievable. This play is a melodramatic fiction, not a historical record. The actors give it their all but suffer the common error of putting real emotions into utterly heightened, surreal speech, which demands a like passion and conviction. The pretty frames make it almost palatable to watch, but oh dear this approach is why modern audiences, misguidedly, think Shakespeare is overwritten, boring, pretentious d**k snot.

Hideous production of the Bard's work; the acting varied from totally over the top to more wooden than an oak tree - I really wish they would not destroy Britain's heritage in this way. Colour blind casting in historical drama is not only distracting but also racist in that it denies the truth.
