The White Princess is about as good as The White Queen. First, after watching The White Queen, you have to adjust to the new cast, since many of the same characters are present. But, I also like to see different actors' takes on familiar roles. I feel that this part of English history isn't very well-known (at least to me as an American), so seeing it come to life and learning about the conflicts of that time period was very fascinating. Excellent costumes and production design. Loved it!
The War of the Roses comes alive and is made Accessible in this female-focused take on history inspired by Gregory's books. Superb casting, cinematography, and costumes. Sometimes very little is happening in a scene and I'm still transfixed. Highly recommend to history fans. Will 100% rewatch.
I really wasn't expecting that final...
But I liked the White Queen more
If they had manage to do this with the same actors as in the White Queen it would have been a lot better (I guess). Not just because it would have been easier to jump into but also because they wasn't half as bad as this lot. It probably has to do with the script too but three episodes in I have no relation to any of the characters and they all feel rather 'bleh'...
I'll have to admit those period shows have become a bit of a favorite of mine. They do provide good entertainment and, on it's own, this is no different. Since this is a continuation of The White Queen , though, I have to compare them and TWQ is winning it.
There isn't a likeable character around here, they all are very succesfull in making you not like them. And the cast isn't quite as good. In every regard this is a bit behind TWQ. Since I've rated that a 7 I'll gave this one a 6 to seperate the two.
The historical costuming inaccuracies annoyed me. Married women wore their hair up, and covered, not just by a token hairband, but by veils and hoods.
Once again a real good show cancelled. No season 2
Wasn't expecting much from this, but WOW!! is it ever good!! Kings, Queens, Royalty, murder, sabotage, love, and lies...it's got it all and more!!

Having enjoyed The White Queen I looked forward to this theatrical addition based on the series of books. I enjoyed it so far but do wish that for continuity they had used the same actors for the characters that span both.
