Production values are good. It looks and sounds good. Some historical accuracy. Otherwise it is laboriously and laughably wrong. The characters have little in common with the real people of history.
If you love history and especially the Tudor era put your mind into neutral and accept the fantasy.
Stand out performances are Cat Ashley, Princess Mary and Thomas Seymour.
The portrayal of Katherine Parr, Jane Grey and Edward are just totally wrong!
You can see the strong influence of Phillipa Gregory's books, as she writes historical fantasy.
I watched it for the amazing castles that this was filmed in, the scenery and costumes. I watched hoping the story would improve, for the truth is far more interesting and exciting than this drivel.
