Cally Riggs Fab casting. I love the trade off betwixt Olde English and New Age acting. The Music is a breath of fresh air and of course its not true to history completely , its entertainment, stop being so stuffy. I adore it. Period pieces can go one of two ways either pomp or fun , this is fun at its best . Bravo to all and Laurie Davidson ... you totally own the screen.
Amethyst Jetaime I love this series. You have to understand this is entertainment and not a history lesson and never claims to be. It is in a sense theater.I have to laugh about those claiming it's not 'historically accurate' Were all the Bards plays? NO. First little to nothing is known about the bards personal life, and practically nothing about his early life as a play write other than his plays. So what TV/Movie or Play would be 'accurate'?The depiction of London of the times is admittedly not historically accurate but the show does a good job of translating the atmosphere of the early London theater, it's environs, politics and prejudices of the time via the mash up of more modern music and costumes and themes of the episodes to appeal to modern sensibilities.All in all I think the Bard would approve of the theatrical license this show takes with his life and times to entertain. That's what he did in his plays and that's what most theater does (including presentations on TV and movies).
GoJackets79 Binged through the 9 episodes available so far on TNT's app and can't wait for the next (one, two, three...?)If I were a HS English teacher, having the students watch this would be the best way to get them interested in Shakespeare (probably have to field complaints from uptight parents about language, nudity, etc. etc.).Just because not everyone is wearing brown or black doesn't mean this isn't historically accurate; maybe London was like a renaissance fair? The backstory on the characters seems to be on target.
moviefan1989 OK I have only been able to watch the first 20 minutes so far of this show and it seems pretty riveting but I will also tell you that there's some pretty raw content just in the time I have seen there's a man bare humping a woman 2 executions and strong language if none of the above bothers you then try it I like what I have seen so far will is a new summer treat
