I have this thing which is that I love watching historical fiction but historical inaccuracy bothers me A LOT. So yeah watch me bitching about how x thing didn't happen or happened differently, but still keep watching nonetheless. It's a contradiction that I've come to accept, and it's the reason why I enjoyed a lot The White Queen, even though it is not very accurate.
This mini series it's fast paced and very entertaining . It's all drama, politics, a bit of war (with battles that DEFINETLY could have been better directed and choreographed) and tons of stuff that probably (and surely) didn't happen. Not perfect, nor a favorite of mine (to be honest I wasn't very hooked at the end), but if you like historical fiction for it's drama, setting and pretty dresses, then I think you might enjoy this one as I did (bitching about inaccuracy and all).
Lastly, I don't wanna sound like a history nerd, but if you liked the show and were left with curiosity, please consider checking out what actually happened, 'cause ultimately I don't mind historical changes if the final product it's enjoyable but I find worrisome that some people may end up taking a piece of fiction as actual facts.
