8/10
Best episode so far.
Sleepin_Dragon9 August 2023
It's Elizabeth's fifteenth birthday, Catherine Parr and Thomas Seymour throw the young Princess a lavish birthday celebration, but of course it's for their own benefit.

I think this is perhaps the most accomplished episode so far, it is truly growing with every passing episode, and this third was a myriad of scheming and treachery.

I always thought Part took an almost parental role over Elizabeth and Edward, I'm not quite sure as to the accuracy of this dramatisation, but it certainly made for entertaining viewing, I honestly never thought of Catherine Parr in such a way, this Lady Macbeth figure.

Interesting to see the young King manipulated and moved into position, it's so interesting the amount of people that took advantage of his youth.

The lighting and music were spot on, they really did at to the atmosphere.

That's the most novel way to do a pregnancy test, it is somewhat different to the blue line.

Very good indeed, 8/10.

Warning: Spoilers
Obviously, it happened in history, and the show can portray the incident at its liberty. However, the way it portrays the scandal is just revolting. The show does not have to emphasize the mother role and the father role of Parr and Thomas. It does not have to incite or excite audience with crude erotic scenarios. It's how porno appraoches its plot. AND our main character, Elizabeth I, reacts in a more disgusting way than the actual event when confronted. She lies about the most obvious, what's right in front of everyone's eyes. The worst main character ever. She could've admitted the affair with confidence or even run away. Rather, she takes the lowest road possible, denial. Woody Allen and Mildred Pierce for one freaking hour.
