starvinbohemianEh. So far, eh.
There were a couple things that I was excited to see included, like my favorite little martyr's- Sir Thomas More- penchant for self-flagellation.
There were also plenty of things that made me raise a wtf? eyebrow. For instance, I don't understand why they were talking about France's Francis I being named "Defender of the Faith" by the pope, when it was actually Henry himself (and later his nephew, Spain's Charles V) who held the title. Or why Thomas Boleyn is being shown conspiring against Henry. Um... Don't think so. Sam Neil's Wolsey is... interesting. A little more... noble and father-figure to Henry than I imagine Wolsey would have been, but maybe Sam Neil can't help that. ;)
Again: eh so far.
