1) THESE PEOPLE ARE FRENCH! THEY WOULD NOT HAVE ENGLISH ACCENTS! Mary Queen of Scots grew up in France and has a French mother. SHE WOULD HAVE A FRENCH ACCENT! The King of France IS FRENCH! Queen Catherine is ITALIAN and would have a strange accent BUT NOT ENGLISH!
2) Urgh. The OUTFITS. Seriously.
3) There was no Bash. Diane de Poitiers had no children with the King.
4) Mary Queen of Scots grew up in the French court. Not a bloody convent. I know that would defeat the dramatic flair of the nun convulsing to death after being poisoned. But srlsy.
5) Elisabeth, the French princess, married Philip II of Spain in SPAIN. She didn't marry some hot young dude, she married a man that had been married twice already and eighteen years older.
6) THOSE OUTFITS!
7) Mary, Queen of Scots was six feet tall. Not some tiny frail little thing.
8) I highly doubt Catherine de Medici would make some comments about Colin's family being upstarts, especially since her family were...... BANKERS! *scoffs* faints*
9) Diane de Poitiers was 20 years older than King Henry, and an incredibly interesting, smart, thoughtful woman. Not some mere mistress.
10) Young Francis was weak, short and kind of funny looking. Hardly the handsome dude on television. But no one wants to see funny looking people on television.
That's what I got so far. I may watch the second episode to see if it has improved somewhat.
