Absolute garbage
Why bother with a historical piece if you're not going to be historical whatsoever? I lasted 8 minutes into the first episode. Lady Jane Grey has always fascinated me, what it must have been like to have been her, to have been shoved into the spotlight when you didn't want it, then paying the ultimate price. What I know is she was nothing like the caricature shown in this mess. The real Lady Jane stayed true to her Protestant faith, and she was beheaded for it. She was only 17 years old when she was executed. Lady Jane Grey followed the values prominent at the time: duty, honour, self sacrifice. Something I guess the makers of this series couldn't relate to so they simply changed, you know, everything. My heartfelt plea: if you want to make another insipid RomCom with the first scene showing the lead character (supposedly Lady Jane) putting ointment on another female's vag to 'stop the itch', I suppose there's an audience for that...but don't set it in Tudor era England for goodness sake. Don't dishonour a brave young soul like Lady Jane. Please, if you can't do her justice let her rest in peace.
