This show may have contained many historical inaccuracies but if it could perk the interest of regular people in history at all that, in my opinion, is good. It was not designed to stand up to history buffs, after all we unfortunately do not make up a majority of the population. It was designed for laymen.
I am just glad to see a period show do so well. It is extremely hard for period shows to make it and last (in the US). Again I can recognize that the show's depiction of the period may be stylized for modern consumption, but the very most basic features of the real saga are shown. Perhaps some guy sitting in Cleveland thought Anne was hot, started watching the series and now is on here reading the real story with a new found interest in European Royalty.
by the way..I thought Thomas More's character was great. My definite favorite. Of course you knew all the characters fates from the start, but I still found myself sobbing during his execution.
