[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Oh, another point that may not have been made (I didn't read the entire thread) Queen Charlotte had some African ancestry. At least according to some historians. Thus the running with this idea has its context--it isn't coming from thin air.[/quote]

This is the part that got me.  If they decided to make Queen Charlotte black, then they’re going with that theory, that she had some African heritage.  They also made her husband, King George, go mad - which is also historically accurate.  I couldn’t reconcile some parts of this show being fairly accurate with most of the show being completely fabricated fluff.  I mean, it was fun to watch, but I would have preferred some consistency.  Either be historically accurate throughout, or be completely fictionalized and fantastical.

Also, the sex was WAY too much.  I know many of you enjoyed it, but the amount and explicitness was a major turn off for me.  [/quote]

I liked the sex :)  But I otherwise agree with you.  The colorblind casting, costumes, and modern slang and behavior, combined with many historical inaccuracies gave me the feeling that it was almost a sci-fi piece taking place some kind of alternate dimension.  [/quote]
