Good acting, poor plot handling

If Elizabeth Woodville's curse worked, why not curse Richard to death before Edward IV appointed Protector? In this way, Anthony can successfully assist the new master, and Woodville's son will not passively become the "Prince of the Tower" and suffer misfortune. The logic of the screenwriter is a bit ridiculous, it seems that everything can be blamed on Woodville's witchcraft, and her witchcraft is not very good.
And the real history tells us that both Elizabeth Woodville and Margaret Beaufort were amazing women with bumpy fates and perseverance. They are all in the situation of losing their husbands and being helpless, facing the danger of losing their lives at any time, and leading their children to walk through the milestones of life with difficulty. None of this can be achieved by witchcraft or neurotic prayer alone. One of them was the White Queen of York and the other was the Red Queen of Lancaster. In the end, the two women joined forces to end the century-long War of the Red and White Roses and create the Tudor dynasty.
The White Queen, who pays equal attention to both wisdom and beauty, should not become the woman who frequently uses witchcraft and is extremely jealous in the eyes of the screenwriter. It was no accident that the amorous Edward IV had a lifelong love for Woodville.
The actor's acting skills are good, but the screenwriter's skill is still shallow. Although the TV series cannot be compared with real history, as a work of art, "The White Queen" is obviously not satisfactory in terms of handling the plot and understanding of the characters.
