[quote=Anonymous]For every link you post critiquing the show as not historically accurate, I can post a link saying it is clearly historical fiction...again, noting that historical fiction isn't a historically accurate documentary.

Saying the show isn't historically accurate doesn't mean it isn't historical fiction. Historical fiction isn't meant to be 100% accurate.

The modern twist on clothing and the contemporary soundtrack (which is amazing BTW) don't negate the genre.

The subplots with characters created for dramatic storytelling don't negate the genre.

It's interesting to me that all the critiques of the show online focus on the fact that it isn't 100% accurate. Well, duh! Historical fiction isn't 100% accurate, nor does it portend to be. If they were striving for factual accuracy, they would have made a documentary.

This show is a more modern take on historical fiction as compared with The Tudors---which had little appeal to young audiences. Despite the cool clothes (which have actually won awards and critical acclaim) and soundtrack, the show is no different than The Tudors: they are both historical fiction.[/quote]
