Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I'm writing this review after the release of the first episode, and so far I like what I've seen. Like many of the viewers, I've read the books and I watched "The White Queen," and my heart goes out to the creators of this production, because I suspect they are serving a judgmental audience. Fans of historical European monarchies tend to be discriminatory in what we deem acceptable historical stories. Our margin for error is unfairly narrow. I say unfairly because, regarding personal interactions, our perception of truth is largely based on diaries and written correspondence between key figures--both of which are completely subjective resources. Additionally, whenever a book is brought to screen, the readers almost always lament the necessary omitting of some scenes. Unfortunately, this leaves us with a sense of loss that we apply to our reviews. So, to my fellow fans of this genre, I'll tell you this: I tried to watch this show without casting judgment based on the books and the White Queen, and in doing so, I feel that the show was well executed and therefore has earned my 5 stars.
