This is truly superb drama. Watch the extras on the final DVD to see the writer Michael Hirst talk of how he dealt with the end of King Henry VIII's reign - so wonderful the way that is done.
All 4 series of this are wonderful. Not 100% accurate but that is fine - 2 popes merged into one; Henry did not look exactly like the actor playing him etc. Lots of stuff made up.
But so what? There is no such thing as reality in historical fiction anyway. This series totally won me over though I sneered at it a bit in 2009 which is why I only saw one episode then.
I could watch it all again. I am sad they did not make more series after this about King Edward VI and Mary I - that could be 2-3 more series, before reaching Elizabeth I who has been overdone in movies to be fair.
Loved it. 5 stars - with bells on.
