Thoughts on how Catherine&Henry were portrayed in BSR?

Well, they were mainly portrayed in the background, right?

I think it's from Anne's perspective, so that's what we see and that's what we hear (from her...none of the historians seem to really comment on their relationship on an interpersonal level, as such, only re: the political ramifications, because the series was not about that, so...beyond Dr. Owen Emmerson saying Catherine underestimated Anne-- I don't think this went vice versa, but I think Henry underestimated Catherine and vice versa there, too...they don't really get into this in-depth, though).

So, Anne says they didn't love each other, and that's what Anne, here, believes. The real Anne did not comment on it much that is 'on the record', beyond that "the love she bore him was far greater than that of the late Queen". That is what she believed, or, if we're being skeptical, what she thought was circumspect to say she believed. That doesn't make it true, and I don't think the creators were trying to hoodwink viewers into believing that's true-- just that Anne did.

It's been a huge complaint on Instagram circles rn, which I don't wholly understand? Why are they swearing up and down the last thing they want in the world is yet another series from Anne's POV (it was the same song and dance last year, too), then watching a series that has promoted itself, from the jump, as one that is only from Anne's POV...and then are mad when it’s from Anne's POV?

#anon #'we are very unreliable narrators of our own stories' #this is a narrative history. from one pov. it was absolutely billed that way. #catherine had her own rich inner world but anne was not privy to it. she was not her friend #absolute scenes in the comment sections. they FREAKED out when they saw catherine aggibbnfgawhfr #i am not of a mind to underestimate the intelligence of who watches this? #the vibe is like. very clear #you can tell if cable was still king this would be like the e! documentary of the tudors #we see anne's 'interview' reflection with kingston we see anne talking to the camera we see ; even #anne's nightmares... like . #when did you expect the switch to happen #when did you expect the woman that you all hate for her hostility towards her enemies ... to give them a 'fair shake' ? #sorry like...was she supposed to like a woman trying to supplant her? #anymore than catherine should have? #you're mad that the actress that plays catherine was 42 years old in this? catherine WAS in her forties during the GM #cope about it.
