The Tudors

A real political and religious break, told through the bed.

Henry's reign is the family crisis of a country: a marriage, a church, a daughter declared a bastard, men who died over a oath. That story can be told. This telling keeps returning to the body because it does not trust you to care about the oath. If you care about the oath, read a chapter of a history and watch only the scenes you can check.

The eight

Industry
4/10
A court is work. The show prefers the chamber.
Household
2/10
Marriage is a political tool and a grave.
Piety
4/10
The break with Rome is in the story and under-served.
Courage
3/10
Courage belongs to the people who will not sign, and they are side characters.
Republic
4/10
A kingdom's succession is the stake, which is the right stake.
Temperance
2/10
The body is the advertisement.
Truth
4/10
The events are roughly the events. The motives are modern.
Stewardship
3/10
What he hands down is a schism and a son. The show is more interested in the schism's costumes.

Live historicallyKnow why More would not sign. The series will not make that the memorable part unless you bring it.

Beetlejuice

Lydia is allowed to like strange things. The ghost is not a friend to copy.

The series is the film's joke stretched into Saturdays: Lydia is serious, the adults are fools, Beetlejuice is a id with a name. A child who already likes monsters can watch an episode and not be wounded.

Do not let the con man become the imaginary friend you encourage. The part worth keeping is a girl who is odd and still goes home.

He runs scams. She does school. Neither is a craft the show respects for long.
Household
4/10
A living family that does not quite know her, and a dead one that does.
Piety
1/10
The afterlife is a bureaucracy played for a laugh.
Courage
4/10
She is not afraid of the dead. Fearlessness without judgment is the risk.
Republic
2/10
Offices of the dead, all corrupt, all jokes.
Temperance
5/10
Gross, not cruel. The grossness is the flavor.
Truth
4/10
It tells you he is a pest. It also wants you to like the pest.
Stewardship
3/10
A girl handed a trickster instead of a grown person.

Live historicallyIf a child quotes him, ask whether the quote was kind. Keep the oddness. Drop the torment.
