[QUOTE="Jason73, post: 253030, member: 3"] I've been in an historical drama frame of mind lately. First I did The White Queen (streaming on Starz)--the story of Edward IV and his queen, Elizabeth, and carrying on through Richard III's reign. It's based on Phillipa Gregory's soapy/pot boiler books--so trashy plot twists over historical accuracy; but I liked it. It was well cast and the story flowed along nicely. Next, I finished Medici on Netflix. I had started the first season a while ago. The first season is slow but decent. It really takes off in the second and third seasons and I ended up racing through the last two seasons. Another one with an excellent cast. After that it was The White Princess--the continuation of The White Queen, it's the story of Henry VII and his wife Elizabeth (who they call Lizzie in the series to distinguish her from her mother--Elizabeth, the wife of Edward IV). I quit after two episodes--the cast was weak. They had recast all the roles that carried over from The White Queen with inferior actors and the story was dull and meandering. I was going to follow The White Princess with the next in that series, The Spanish Princess, which is Catherine of Aragon's story--but I'm not sure I'll get to that one now. Instead, I've now started Rome on HBO Max. It's early, I've only done two episodes, but I think I like it. I can't get enough of Polly Walker's Atia. [/QUOTE]
