The White Queen review – 1×03: ‘The Storm’

August 25, 2013 by couchpotato

After what I’d consider a rather uninspiring series start, this episode is the best so far. Now that we’re familiar with all the main players, “The Storm” allows viewers to experience a rebellion from the widely different viewpoints of various ladies involved, including Queen Elizabeth (Rebecca Ferguson), the Neville sisters, and Margaret Beaufort (Amanda Hale).

The White Queen review – 1×02: ‘The Price Of Power’

The second episode of STARZ’s The White Queen reinforces my belief that becoming a queen would just be too much work. All of the plotting, overthrowing, and the need to have sons ASAP? It sounds exhausting.

The Borgias review – 3×10: ‘The Prince’

“Winter is coming.” No wait…I’m confused about what show I’m reviewing. Ironically during this final episode of The Borgias, Caterina Sforza (Gina McKee) says it. Perhaps she’s a Game of Thrones fan. Unfortunately for viewers, this line sadly foreshadows the end of the series.

The Best of The Borgias

June 15, 2013 by couchpotato

The Borgias is coming to an end this weekend, with the final episode airing on Sunday. Since it pains me to think that the show has been cancelled, I prefer to look at it that the actors, writers and crew are graduating to go work on new projects. So in that vein, I have put together my thoughts on some series superlatives for the show.

Check out our thoughts and then sound off with your own rankings! [Read more…]

The Borgias review – 3×09: ‘The Gunpowder Plot’

After this week’s announcement that there will be no 4th season of The Borgias, this is now officially the penultimate episode of the series. In my humble opinion, this episode proved that it shouldn’t be.
