Will

He loved modernizing things....if this was true to time it would be disgusting... read some history! The royals were disgusting.

I love this show! It explored some historical "tabloid material" with no true claims, but the theory's being exposed; was enjoyable! The costumes are mind blowing ....It makes me crave to bring some of these adornments to our current fashion.

This is definitely a period piece

it is strange to hope more. because the fragments of biography, the opportunity to use imagination to complete it, the Elisabethan London and the theater of this period are great temptations for a series who could be cool and small door for teenager to the work of the most important playwright of entire history. so, it is, in same measure, provocative , subjective and decent. the good point is Laurie Davidson who gives a Shakespeare full of noble intentions, sparkles, vulnerability and in permanent grow up in the atmosphere of the city. and the script is the recipes who contains all the ingredients and the way to be more than a tasteful dish but an impressive one.

Fab casting. I love the trade off betwixt Olde English and New Age acting. The Music is a breath of fresh air and of course its not true to history completely , its entertainment, stop being so stuffy. I adore it. Period pieces can go one of two ways either pomp or fun , this is fun at its best . Bravo to all and Laurie Davidson ... you totally own the screen.

Just watched the first episode last night. Aside from the garish colors and the punk overtones, I was enthralled. Like Shakespeare's stage directions, the bio for historical Will is sparse leaving ample room for dramatic embellishment. I thought it was clever the way the writers wove ideas and fragments of speeches from the plays throughout the first episode. Especially enjoyed the "duel" of words between Robert Greene and Will in iambic pentameter. If the rest of the episodes prove as entertaining and engrossing as the first, this series will be a treat! Oh, and after about the first 10 min I was over the garish colors and punk overtones.

OK I have only been able to watch the first 20 minutes so far of this show and it seems pretty riveting but I will also tell you that there's some pretty raw content just in the time I have seen there's a man bare humping a woman 2 executions and strong language if none of the above bothers you then try it I like what I have seen so far will is a new summer treat
