watched this just to hear hugh dancy get praised as the pretty boy that he is 😌

if Tom Hooper thought putting Hugh Dancy in a series of tunics with plunging necklines would make me forgive him for his future crimes against cinema … well, he was almost right

UGH Helen Mirren is perfect as Queen Elizabeth I. This focuses on the latter half of her reign and I was pleasantly surprised with how accurate it is. Obviously some things are exaggerated or left out but if you’re interested at all in learning about Elizabeth I then I think this is a great starting point. Even the made up conversation between her and Mary Queen of Scots was really impressive. They never met in real life but in this…

I have NOTHING even remotely appropriate to say about omega Hugh dancy.

can hugh dancy stop playing pick me milf hunters or is that too much of a request

Again, watched this whole thing because Hugh Dancy is hot

only watched part 2 for hugh dancy.Will not watch part 1 This was essentially 2 hours of hugh dancy being a 50 year old woman’s boytoy and slutting himself out during the elizabethean times. can’t say i didn’t enjoy it Wholeheartedly also not all shit from an ass to my surprise I would also answer and fulfill his every request and call him pretty every 20 minutes

watched this to see hugh begging + getting praised and wasn’t disappointed

pedophilia. (hugh dancy is so majestic, so I understand her)

I would also crash out if Hugh Dancy left me in order to go to Lisbon too

Helen Mirren is perfect in this.

Grandpa wanted to give me a history lesson after his granddaughter of the other side of the family saw the first part of this and thought it was magnificent. Good, enjoyable, great performances, but oh-so long. 3 hours and 40 minutes in one go is something I’m not used to anymore. Credits to me please. Fun to see some of Eddie Redmayne’s old work! Was a very nice surprise. I also kept reading Essex as E-Sex and I thought that was very funny.

Сняв очередную часть британского сериала “Главный подозреваемый”, режиссёром ещё одного телефильма с Миррен стал Том Хупер, который, демонстрируя ограниченность в сценах вооружённого мятежа и театром отдающего суда – позже её с успехом преодолеет адвокат Джон Адамс, и морское сражение переживший, – уже показывает себя специалистом по драмедиям из личной жизни глав государств, что вскоре и принесёт ему “Оскар”. Превосходную актрису, которая к третьей “Эмми” за страстную, но стареющую Елизавету тоже прибавит “Оскар” за противоположность-тёзку, окружают в королевском Совете старики с…

Part 1: 8/10 – 30/3/26 🪶 OMG HES SO HOTTT AHHHSGSHH he is the juiciest eye candy EVER. although his part is limited in the first half he starts at just before an hour. regardless honestly well made and interesting retelling. Part 2: 10/10 – 31/3/26 🪶 honesty can’t blame her. who could say no to that beautiful face. that sexy man. i would watch this endlessly to see him in such states. oh to be an actress in the 2000’s and get to make out with him. genuinely intriguing, was completely enthralled with this part. PLEASE i need more of medieval hugh yearning.

gcse history revision going well why were they playing purcell in the late 1500s, bro was baroque 🥲 essex and elizabeth were basically cousins btw 😭

threatening to kill everyone bc her boy toy hugh dancy left without her permission… a true diva

if elizabeth were in the twenty-first century, she would love fergie (behind closed doors)

Great cast, has a lot of cross over with the Cate Blanchet films. Of course this is down to it being a historical drama film

One of the best British miniseries I’ve ever seen. It’s never boring, it’s well-paced and easy to follow along, the costumes are gorgeous, and of course Helen Miren is amazing.

Enjoyed this. Helen Mirren gives a lot depth and humanity to a figure who, in my experience, is not always afforded that privilege
-
K
Mirren has mastered the scream-sob, baby Eddie redmayne whimpers and sobs, plentyyy of morbidly beautiful harpsichord music. You should probably watch this is that stuff is up your alley, and if you don’t mind super long movies about royalty (it’s not the worst of its genre). And …. I just haaate how charming Mr puppy eyes earl of Essex is…. 🥰

you can tell who watched for Helen Mirren and who watched for Hugh Dancy by which part they liked more. I of course, liked part 2 more.

I love her

A definite focus on Elizabeth’s love life and the ways she was influenced by the men in her life. There wasn’t a lot of room for us to see what she herself thought or was motivated by, it kind of felt like we were more so in the perspective of her council, her people, or her lovers; which was odd to me since the movie is titled after her. The costuming was immaculate and the sets were grand. The performances…

Pretty easy going take on E the 1st really. Characterisation of Leicester and Essex feels off but the Cecils are much more on point. And Helen Mirren’s Elizabeth’s post-Leicester makeover is *chef’s kiss.*

It’s always hard for me to comprehend that Elizabeth the 1st was alive and reigning in the same timeline as Shakespeare, and that she visibly viewed and enjoyed his plays on stage Then 300 or so years later, I lived for a large majority in the 2nd Elizabethan era, and also visibly viewed and enjoyed Shakespeare’s play’s on stage Thank you Elizabeth the 1st for being such an advocate for the arts and all the joy it brings

Costume fucking fireeeeeeeeeeeee. Helen Mirren’s Elizabeth was so charming, I think her age and finally having an age fitting actress for Elizabeth was it. – HBO

Used to love this but gotta admit the sets are tough, CGI backgrounds, cinematography everything besides the acting which is top tier 🙂

that one scene of hugh dancy looking up at the queen w those puppy eyes of his… ugh kill me and also he’s such a lovesick fool in this series it makes me want to use him

Início essa resenha com uma única palavra. Absurdo!! Esta minissérie contém um absurdo total de tamanha perfeição na Direção de Arte, é estarrecedor observar cada detalhe dos figurinos, das decorações, dos objetos, das jóias, dos cenários. Tudo é extremamente perfeito, são mais de 3h30 de duração, na qual contém uma atuação impecável da atriz Helen Mirren — que mulher maravilhosa — sua atuação é completamente marcante e nos deixa embabacado com tanta maestria. Portanto, é absolutamente compreensível a minissérie ter sido tão boa. Gostei, e agora estou precisando de mais produções com essa temática cinematográfica para assistir.

Queen desires an heir and some affection but discovers her boy-toy is a fool and duplicitous. Proves nepotism isn’t compatible with sound governance.

Enjoyed this. Helen Mirren always good as a Queen, any Queen. Hugh Dancy is very suave and dashing. Then you get Irons. So cool. You can add this to his list of horny repressed Englishmen roles; he’s the best at it. Admittedly a bit stuffy here and there and McDiarmid is ‘too Palpatine’. I think this is easily the best thing Tom Hooper has done.

se for crime aguentar 4 horas de drama histórico pelos cachinhos macios bochechas coradas e cílios de boneca do hugh dancy que me prendam que me levem (os sets externos me lembraram um pouco de caligula e eu lembrei agora que a helen mirren é a caesonia nesse filme)

Helen Mirren as the Queen is astounding (in more ways than one 😉) Irons is solid it’s all in all a good historical drama HBO rarely fails though

the age gap is just weird and the whole movie is just confusing… the writing is bad and.. its just bad. Hugh dancy serving cunt like always. May god never make a man as bottom eyed, twinky, and androgynously beautiful as 30 year old hugh dancy again. He was meant to be on screen to say the least.

1) Jeremy Irons is a national treasure. 2) Helen Mirren is a national treasure. 3) the script was phenomenal and had such wonderful lines. It was Shakespearean. 4) the production design was immaculate. Oh, the costumes and hair. 5) this TV miniseries is 20 years old – and it stands up

This was really amazing and more accurate than my favourite elizabeth film. It was genuinely upsetting and powerful to kudos to director 👑🥰🥵

Elizabeth I impresses with its lavish production design, striking cinematography, and a rich, atmospheric soundtrack that brings the period to life. The performances are the highlight as Helen Mirren is commanding in the leasing role, while Jeremy Irons and Hugh Dancy deliver equally strong turns. A powerful, visually stunning historical drama that captivates through both craft and performance.

One moment I’m watching political intrigue at the court of the queen of England and the next I’m watching a guy being chopped apart and another guy’s intestines being pulled out.

Helen Mirren fucks hard in this. It’s a supercut of Elizabeth really wanting to fuck one guy but she can’t cuz muh crown and then really wanting to fuck another guy. They shoulda just let these bitches have sex, cuz the guys who are waiting for her to put out gradually go insane from cum buildup. All I can say is uhhh kinda based??? Like, no i wont fuck but you should go fight the Spanish for me. Insane work and we love to see it.

this is the third time i’ve seen hugh dancy get slutted out by an older woman.. which is not a lot but it’s weird that it happened three times

Solo la vi por Hugh, aunque la actriz lo hizo de una forma magnífica, sentí que su relación con él, era demasiado extraña teniendo en cuenta que se llevaban +40 años, pero por lo demás, la película/serie ha estado súper bien, el final un poco inconcluso, pero bueno.

Incredible costuming! That and the set design is honestly the only reason to watch this. The story really drags in the second half, and I think they should have focused much less on Essex and his waywardness as it becomes very dull after an hour. Also I guess the Scottish king got to be King of England, despite his dickishness? The movie never makes it clear what the line of succession became. Guess I’m just an ignorant American, but the narrative should contain the answers to the questions it brings up.

happy pride month to hugh dancy bc he’s lowkey butch as fuuuuck in this

hugh dancy was criminally gorgeous in this the costumes were awesome but otherwise I didn’t like this very much :/

No tiene nombre lo nerviosa q me pone Hugh dancy, q no se repita nunca. La parte 1 es mejor q la segunda. Nunca mimes demasiado a un twink, se va a volver un loquito por el poder y lo vas a tener q decapitar por traidor

so we all watched it for hugh, huh? “men like you must be ruled” OKAY DIVA?? she was an absolute queen for saying that and making him yearn

Ugh I love Hellen Mirren!

E
her life was so hard
-
A
First night half: really very good, but E is getting frazzled with all the responsibilty as if she hadn’t handled anything like it in her previous 20 years on the throne. Second night half: many touching moments and Bess sure is much fun but Dancy as Devereux is so much weaker than Irons, even if the entendres are increased.

i forgot to mark this one because i might be dumb probably. i love hugh’s role of the duke of being sexist, he is always such a slut. either he’s seducing women or being a petulant little shit and I’m here for it. oh and i loved the relationship between the baddie elizabeth and leicester.

Sumptuous three and a half hour two episodes series about the last three decades of the reign of Elizabeth I, the Queen who I think probably did more than anyone to drag England out of the Middle Ages. For half a century she cleaned up the messes her deranged father and sister left behind after their reigns, faced down the might of the Spanish Empire, prevented religious civil war, and reformed the country politically, financially and socially into a far…

Helen Mirren was superb as Elizabeth, a tv movie of 2 halves it was enjoyable but it dragged on, my favourite bit was the heads being chopped off 🤣 the first was like wtf had to do it twice🤣 second one was chop and drop😂

oh to have hugh dancy simp for me like that. i watched this for him- but HELEN MIRREN🧎♂️🙏🙏 QUEEN🙏🙏 i’ll be your twink boytoy too if you want me to. i think that’s the most graphic beheading i’ve ever seen in a film (miniseries), didn’t expect this to be so graphic in general. enjoyed it though what can i say? i like period pieces. i love hugh dancy. i love hugh dancy. i now love helen mirren, and i love…

not even rating this coz i skipped through the 4 hours for my man to get beheaded
-

The first part was so serious and then the second part was so unserious. A 26-year-old Hugh Dancy spends most of this movie 🥺 and pining with a little mustache and his tiny waist causing a ruckus. At one point, Hugh and Eddie Redmayne go from storming the castle completely dry to soaking wet in the next scene with no explanation. I spent this entire miniseries on Wikipedia and I still gasped at the pregnancy twist. I love a well done beheading and this show gave me plenty!

There is “camp,” and then there is “Helen Mirren walking out in the middle of making out with Hugh Dancy on his knees to talk to herself about being in love” level of camp

Trigger warnings for the blood and gore. Oh my gosh this movie, i literally believe every character sells me! The romance i am in love with! I feel for her yet while she is Queen she is still a woman and will show her innocence & feelings emotions while also trying to be strong alot on her shoulders. Sooo emotional on some parts but this really is one of the best movies ever done the closest to the real life they could get with this even down to the son!
