lynniepinnie22 I admit I only watched White Queen for a short time, but that was because I was totally distracted by Elizabeth's long flowing CRIMPED hair. I thought if they can get something like that so spectacularly wrong, how can they get the history right? I know it may be nitpicky, but I was just really put off by it. Surely the hair dept should've know electric crimpers weren't around in the 15th century?

sherapchogyal Being a fan of English history (particularly Tudor history) I am very glad for this glimpse into the generation that laid the groundwork for that most infamous dynasty! As I'm not a bonafide historian I viewed this series without the hindrance of "aw jeez! That didn't happen like that! Come on, Philippa Gregory!" -style outrage or annoyance. (I did cringe over The Other Boleyn Girl.) For me The White Queen was a thrilling story which introduced me to many key historic figures. A wonderful series which has done the most a series can do, IMHO - it fed the flame of interest sending me back again and again to Wikipedia and on to explore further resources! Bravo!

dspears-28319 I loved the characters. Would love to see this continue to the next book. I really enjoyed this mini series. I have read that it isn't really true to what actually happened. I really don't care if it is true or not. This series was very good. It held my interest and I can't wait to see the finally. I just wish you would keep the series going with what happens next in the White Princess's life. Please keep it going. I gave this series a 10 for excellent, that's exactly how I feel about it. Would love to see what happens next!!!!!

beltezam1939 I guess I was not impressed the first time I watched it because it was written by Phillips Gregory, who has played rather fast and loose with some of my favorite historical figures. On second watching, it's not too bad. I wish they had spent a little extra on peroxide. Elizabeth was famous for her "silver gilt" hair, which must have been platinum blonde.Another excellent book about Elizabeth Woodbille is by Rosemary Hanley Jarman, "The King's Grey Mare" the first in a whole series about Elizabeth and her descendants. They run a bit closer to actual history than Phillips Gregory's version.
