In The White Queen, people speak like ye olde Dawson’s Creek characters.Granted, there is a lot of information to get in about which family stands to benefit from which course of action, but when this was billed as the story of the women wrangling for power behind the scenes I thought the emotional aspect of their struggle would be brought to the fore a bit more. Amanda Hale, as Lady Margaret Beaufort, does inject real power into her scenes but she's seldom given more to do than kvetch about her absent son or look cross when someone tries to touch her bible.
The White Queen is a riveting portrayal of one of the most dramatic and turbulent times in English history. A story of love and lust, seduction and deception, betrayal and murder, it is uniquely told through the perspective of three different, yet equally relentless women - Elizabeth Woodville, Margaret Beaufort and Anne Neville.
