Warning: Spoilers
Being a big fan of historical drama, Britain's Bloody Crown nails the drama, the actual game of thrones during those stormy decades. The story telling narrative with new perspectives and drama approach, the stunning cinematic montage, the strong actors and actresses deliver the powerful true stories. It is like watching four mini-movies. That's exactly my cup of tea! The four episodes make audience easily understand the tension, essence of the War of the Roses, why and how it happened that way. The first episode: "The Mad King", is the power struggle between the infamous Margaret of Anjou and the "usurper" Richard of York, grew to a point of no return; the second episode, "The Kingmaker must die": tells Edward IV and Earl of Warwick turned from great allies to bitter enemies. The third episode, "the Princes must die": What happened to Richard III and the Princes of the Tower, is the most controversial cold case of England history. The fourth episode, "A mother's love": brings out the one who really ended the War of the Roses. With more budget, it can be four real movies or TV series.
