The White Queen
I thoroughly enjoyed the first episode of The White Queen on Starz. The
show starts in 1463 and depicts the war of the roses. The first episode
was full of intrigue, action, romance, and witchcraft. It easily flowed
from each plot point. Elizabeth Woodville, a young beautiful widow
captures the interest of the new York king, Edward. But is it her beauty
or her witch ways that brings him back? Elizabeth’s mother Jaquetta is
clearly leading her daughter and shaping her future. The brilliant scene
with the Duchess (King Edward’s mother) and Jaquetta is executed
perfectly. With premonitions of danger and the women in red looming the episode ends with you wanting more. The acting is good, the customs are
riveting, but the intrigue brought on by the woman not the men is what
makes this show stand out from other similar shows. Is this the female
version of Game of Thrones? I will be tuning in for more and I am
excited to see where they take this 10 part mini series. So check out on
Starz, Saturday 9pm ET.
It's only the women's version of Game of Thrones if everybody dies.
ReplyDeleteTrue, true, but there is good potential here for that. lol
ReplyDeleteBabe, I didn't even know about this show! Make sure to DVR it for me...
ReplyDeleteI am descended from Lady Jacquetta on my mother's side! Through her daughter, Jacquetta, Lady Strange (that would be Elizabeth's sister). Accusations of witchery abound. :)
ReplyDeleteOh how cool!!! My family on my dad's side can be traced back to Robert the Bruce. Witchery would be too cool!!
