Some of the dialogue and phrases used pulled me out of the drama (“trot on” and “woman to woman” spring to mind). ... That aside, the series brilliantly captures the essence of the doomed Anne Boleyn: a woman whose power and intelligence threatened the toxic, patriarchal Tudor court.

Anne Boleyn proves that a modern spin on a historical milestone doesn’t have to be radical to make its mark. A dazzling showcase of talent, that cements Turner-Smith as one of the finest emerging actors working today.

Racist garbage that should never have been produced. Who thought this was a good idea? Good grief.

What Anne Boleyn and Turner-Smith do so well in this series is make Anne a far more defined woman with her own ambition, intelligence, and keen strategic savvy.

Turner-Smith, the show’s star attraction, has a strong handle on the more arch dialogue, as well as Anne’s moments of quiet devastation. She's a good fit, too, for the show’s heightened soapiness.

“Anne Boleyn” is a cold retelling of the the English queen’s life that is only given life through Jodie Turner-Smith’s performance. Maybe if this had been a full-length series with more opportunity to expand the world out, there would be more reflection here.

Turner-Smith wears these moods as confidently as she does Anne’s extravagant gowns, weaving them together into a portrait of a woman equal parts frustrating and enchanting. Yet Anne Boleyn as a whole feels like a missed opportunity.

A provocative take, but by starting the story with the clock already ticking on her doomed reign, it's all downhill for Anne stranding a simmering performance in a curiously pallid rehash. [6 - 19 Dec 2021, p.9]

Another disgusting attempt at blackwashing historical figures to further an extremist political agenda. This show, just like Cleopatra by Will Smith's ex-wife, should be made illegal on grounds of historical accuracy.

Удивляет как так нагло можно повествовать о исторических событиях но при этом так сильное искажая их в угоду промывки мозгов повесткой?!
Я думаю - сериал был бы принято гораздо теплее, если бы не повестка - зачем эту грязь на публику выставлять ?

This series might have been quite good if they had stuck to historical facts, i.e. Anne Boleyn was WHITE and her whole family was WHITE! Geez, it's like these leftist-leaning writers don't own a history book, or don't care. Cast a white actor to play Malcolm X, see what happens!

Identity politics takes precedent over history in this cringe inducing melodrama. 16th century England wasn’t diverse as modern day get over it
