#they were crazy for this#i did like the soundtrack tho#i might at some point do a 'review' of this documentary#but that would involve finishing my watch of it and i don't really know what to like...say?#it was very broad and at times anachronistic#(one of the panel referred to his father as 'puritanical.' uhm . lgojn. about a hundred years too early; bud)#i think the concept was interesting but so strictly adhered to that it became deterimental#yes fine; delve into his relationships with other men. but you cannot so much eschew the picture of his queens that you neglect#to cover the connections these men had to them? the connections their wives and the women in their families had to them?#the conflicting loyalties and the active roles taken#i feel like to barely discuss cranmer in relation to anne boleyn and the courtenays in relation to catherine of aragon is ... bad#at the same time it covered figures that are often barely discussed#such as arthur plantagenet#so...hits and misses. mixed bag i guess.#my expectations were so low bcus i knew who the presenter was#also i think henry norris was neglected;i wonder if that relationship is gone into more detail in book?#also [redacted] was on the panel and im starting to get very tired of her; lol...#more so i am tired of this kind of good-evil binary when discussing arthur vs henry and henry vs his father#which was just a point she hammered over and over again#i truly don't know how arthur would've reacted if after 20 years his wife only had a surviving daughter. but the idea that annulment in#that scenario would be unfathomable...i mean...we really don't know that much about him#and history shows it probably wouldn't have been
