	Author	Review
United States	Sonia Saraiya Variety	"'The White Princess' is not as clear or polished as say, 'The Crown', when it comes to creating a portrait of the monarchy. But it is at its best when it portrays the complex negotiation and manipulation between Henry and Lizzie"	NEU
United States	Robert Bianco USA Today	"There's a frantic effort here to create drama where very little exists (...) Just don’t come for the story, because 'Princess' doesn't have much of one to tell."	NEG
United States	Gwen Ihnat AV Club	"The actual events of this story still have enough in play to make this a riveting watch"	POS
United States	Shirley Li Entertainment Weekly	"[It] manages to make even 15th-century politics feel contemporary."	POS
United States	David Wiegand SFGATE	"'The White Princess' is about sex, murder, death, jealousy and intrigue, and it covers all of those topics with enough flair to make the series entertaining."	POS
United States	John Anderson The Wall Street Journal	"'The White Princess' is a tapestry of soap and backstage politics, with some really marvelous performances."	POS
