It was hard to judge Amanda Hale's performance, she is an emotional unpredictable actress who can seduce the audience with her highly dramatic rendering. It seems to be a loyal portrayal of Margaret Beaufort, who was a woman of great faith and who used her faith to fight in such unstable times. Amanda Hale's performance grows on people, we feel her pain, we feel her anger and her passion. We understand her and cannot help but being on her side. Hers is a performance that is worth watching.
Faye Marsay has been a revelation so far - we're on episode 6. Her portrayal of Anne Neville began timidly shy and childish but she always acted the part of a medieval creature who later gets to know herself and the extent of her power. We believe we are in the presence of a very intelligent actress. Unfortunately, the same cannot be said for her counterpart Aneurin Barnard who plays Richard.
We look forward to see more of Aneurin so we may get a more informed opinion of his portrayal of the infamous Richard III, a king whose reputation has recently been rehabilitated. It will be interesting to find out how he is portrayed in this series.
