PinkRibbons October 17, 2022 Share October 17, 2022 Aw, damn it. I was really hoping to see more Romola Garai as Mary I. 2 2 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/119491-becoming-elizabeth-in-the-media/page/3/#findComment-7705535
Bill1978 October 17, 2022 Share October 17, 2022 Not that the show was terrible by a long shot, but perhaps the low ratings is a sign of Tudor fatigue or at least fatigue with Henry VIII and/or Elizabeth I. I still maintain that this show would have been better having Elizabeth as a side character and focusing on Edward VI reign, leading into Jane and then Mary I, with Elizabeth slowly going from a secondary character to a major character (assuming the show would get multiple seasons). I admit I didn't finish the series because I got bored of everything being framed around Elizabeth. Yes she is well known and a complex character but there is more to that historical period than poor little orphan Elizabeth. And if the audience truly needs a break from the Tudors, I say it;s time to roll out the soap opera that is The Stuarts. 2 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/119491-becoming-elizabeth-in-the-media/page/3/#findComment-7705557

Perhaps it is Tudor fatigue. I didn't find any of the acting particularly memorable. 1 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/119491-becoming-elizabeth-in-the-media/page/3/#findComment-7705816
Haleth October 18, 2022 Share October 18, 2022 Oh. Darn it. Yeah, Elizabeth was not the most compelling character (I get that the concept was her growth), but I did enjoy the performances of everyone. Well, shoot. Yeah, the Stuarts would be fun. 3 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/119491-becoming-elizabeth-in-the-media/page/3/#findComment-7707324
CountryGirl October 19, 2022 Share October 19, 2022 Well, that is disappointing, as I was looking forward to seeing Lady Jane Grey and her short reign as well as Mary's reign. 1 2 4 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/119491-becoming-elizabeth-in-the-media/page/3/#findComment-7709336

Glade November 2, 2022 Share November 2, 2022 (edited) So sad! The writing and depiction of these characters was spot on and so good! Next season with Edwards death, Jane Grey's rein and the rise of Mary would have been amazing. Elizabeth's actress was the weakest link, though. At least the final Wolf Hall series is coming eventually.

Why do they keep renewing crap and cancelling the interesting shows? 😟 3 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/119491-becoming-elizabeth-in-the-media/page/3/#findComment-7738854
Scarlett45 December 9, 2022 Author Share December 9, 2022 FYI, AMC is doing a series on the 1st Duke of Buckingham (paramour to James I) and his Mom, Mary Villers. There is a forum here.
