Critiques (3)
Considering that The White Queen series focuses on a rather dramatic period in England's history, it's a bit too romanticized for my taste. I also didn't quite grasp those supernatural abilities in the female lineage of Elizabeth Woodville. The filmmakers could really have done without that. Nevertheless, several episodes were quite engagingly filmed, so I'll overlook the pile of unnecessary baggage. (60%)

After watching The White Queen, I have to say that it is definitely a better historical series from the world of English aristocratic medieval times. It has a good storyline, quality medieval setting, often some episodes also offer solid plot twists that attract me to continue watching. But on top of all that, there is a terrible amount of romance and furthermore, The White Queen and the women around her were so terribly hysterical that I struggled to endure all the talk about children. After watching similar series, however, you immediately sense where the author of Game of Thrones gathered inspiration...

I expected far better of this series than I eventually got. The creators clearly didn't have an exorbitant budget at their disposal, so all of the action takes place off screen, with more focus on romance and frequent baring of certain body parts (that’s right, breast men rejoice). For some reason, the series features a sort of witchcraft theme (I guess because Harry Potter’s so popular), which really got on my nerves. All in all, it was a mixed bag of positives and negatives for me, so my opinion of the whole series can be summed up using a neutral three stars.
