American screenplay

Too much beautification of Henry VIII. Looking at his portrait, he is completely a rude warrior, not like the handsome guy in the TV series. But Henry couldn't control his emotions, and it was easy to confuse lust with power. The queen does not have to be beautiful, as long as she can have children. Speaking of which, it is his earliest wife Catherine who has given birth to the most children, although most of them died prematurely. If you like hunting beauty, you might as well find a lover. In fact, Henry did just that. The TV series is too bound by the ideology of modern monogamy.

In addition, Henry seems to shout and kill often, but in the end, he is unable to control his own destiny. As a result of his reckless actions, he still falls into the vortex of struggle between the Protestant and the old. Leaving an inevitable mess to his own children.

The fate of the queen in the play is always easy to be victimized. In the end, the woman who completely gives up herself and obeys the king unconditionally can survive.

In terms of production, the front is more exciting, and it seems to have the standard of BBC British dramas, a typical British political conspiracy. But the next few seasons fell into mediocrity, which made people unclear about the ins and outs of the conspiracy, and the conspiracy seemed too childish. Coupled with a lot of unnecessary scenes of nudity on the bed, people thought it was Desperate Housewives and restored the original face of the American drama.

However, the director's taste in casting is still the same, and there are many beauties.
