Prime Video’s ‘My Lady Jane’ Is Outlandish, Ahistorical and a Great Bit of Fun: TV Review
Ahistorical and outlandish, Prime video's TV adaption of "My Lady Jane" is a unique and fun take on the beloved novel.
Historians and fans of the Tudors know this sad tale, but Prime Video ‘s “ My Lady Jane,” created by Gemma Burgess, isn’t interested in historical facts. Yet I won’t divulge the specifics of how an optimistic albeit naive newlywed finds herself sitting atop King Edward’s throne as the newly crowned Queen of England. This masterful retelling, which is bursting with delightful expletives, iconic one-liners and a whole array of death plots and schemes, unveils an alternative universe where women (and some men) have the agency to gain control of their lives.
