The best part about everyone losing their shit about The Serpent Queen is that I watched the pilot and not only is it the best product Starz has put out in years based on money spent, writing, and casting—it also possessed way more attention to historical detail than anything the Tudor shows have been serving…. Maybe ever?

Not y’all being too simple to realize that a woman can be presented as Not Always Good and sympathetic at the same time…. And letting that cloud any openness to the show at all.

#the serpent queen #but idk maybe that happens when you exit what has basically become like #a period piece extended universe #the TUDORVERSE where you don’t have to be accurate because the same fictional beats have been told a million times #anyway accuracy isn’t my priority #but it was interesting to see them bring in details as character beats #which is what you SHOULD do imo vs quibbling over dates and anecdotes #but liv and samantha are bringing IT
