BoardChiri Bad Acting and worse Bad Screenplay
Huievest Instead, you get a movie that's enjoyable enough, but leaves you feeling like it could have been much, much more.
Ezmae Chang This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.
Darin One of the film's great tricks is that, for a time, you think it will go down a rabbit hole of unrealistic glorification.
drjgardner What I enjoy most in this series is how the writers weave in Shakespeare's lines from his plays into the dialogue. Though it's fictional, I can easily imagine that this is how he constructed some of his best dialogues. I also enjoy the music, the locations, the costumes, and just about everything else. No this isn't a documentary nor even a docudrama, because so little is know about Shakespeare. Indeed, some claim he never existed at all, but if he did exist, his life could well have been like this.What a marvelous treat this series is.PS - the only change I would make is when they create this dialogue that will later appear in a play or sonnet, I wish they had captioned it and showed the form as it ultimately appeared.
ulrichmuell Although this may not be technically accurate it doesn't really matter. What matters is the drama, the story telling and more importantly how it's told. That is where this series shines. It is intellectually stimulating and entertaining. The acting and actors are fresh and exhilarating I their delivery and fervor to tell their story. Of course the connection to current day and the dialogue is delicious...smooth with a bit of a bite. You won't regret this one.
bozx-71318 Yet another travesty of a program. Butchering history, drunk on political correctness, content to both speculate about contentious theories (his religious faith) and to simply make stuff up (the cheating on wife, anachronistic dialogue, etc). This is not a tribute to Shakespeare, it is not a celebration of his genius, it is not even an entertaining fantasy: it is a slap in the face. This show proves for the millionth time why postmodernism is cancer and delights in nothing more than spitting on the past, tarnishing tradition, and putting mediocrity on a pedestal - saying it is a brilliant or clever "re-imagining" of the era or some such rot. No, you want to make money - and think this rubbish will appeal to the kiddies. Not so.
tezas-68538 Historically inaccurate? Yes. With some hard scenes? Yes.Entertaining and fun? Yes and yes.And, after all, that what theater is all about ..After two episode's, I'll continue watching.(Neither e.g. 'Gladiator' nor 'Knight's Tale' got so much hate for being not historically accurate, by the way - is W. Shakespeare so sacred?)
