This post says more about you than your "verdict" on the series.
Relax and dip into your box set of Sex in the City instead.

He was HM King Henry, not HRH.

Sir Neill's
Am I missing something here? Why refer to Sam Neill as Sir Neill. I gather that the reference is based on his refusal of a knighthood, but referring to him as Sir Neill makes about as much sense and is as humorous as Marilyn Monroe believing she was correct in referring to Laurence Olivier as Sir Olivier when making "The Prince and the Showgirl."

The costumes are perfect. They look lived in and are made of the proper material. Women wear the correct headpieces. And you can see all the pins keeping the clothes together. Finally a production that understands how Tudor clothing was constructed!

Everyone is replaceable. Even you.

I really liked Wolf Hall but I will agree the music was bad.

The irony of people complaining about the look of the costumes is that they're all more or less accurate reproductions of Tudor clothing, based on artwork and surviving examples. They deliberately left out cod pieces though because apparently modern audiences find them silly.
Especially ironic when compared to The Tudors which puts its cast in either very stylized late Elizabethan or generic ye olde worlde costumes

The colors were so desaturated in this, and the lighting was the poorest I've seen in pretty much any period drama series. The general look of the video with the goosed white balance and desaturated colors made it look like an early 1990s soap opera filmed with a betamax camera.
The indoor lighting in Wolf Hall is realistic. People lived by candle light back then and that's what it was like inside buildings. I admit, it took away a little from the costumes and the surroundings. I do like to see more details, but I still enjoyed the darkness.
Tip: It helps to turn the lights off in your room while you're watching the show.

The Tudors had a lot of historical inaccuracies, including abolishing the Grey and Stewart lines. Henry was not obese in his young manhood age, so showing him as a handsome young man is accurate.

Yes Wolf Hall is subtle, and not for everyone. I suggest you go back to the Hunger Games and Fast'n'Furious for the excitement you crave. Steer clear of intellectual content altogether.
