Gird your loins for the tragic tale of Lady Jane Grey, the young Tudor noblewoman who was Queen of England for nine days and then beheaded, back in good ol’ 1553. Actually... f*ck that. We’re retelling history the way it should have happened: the damsel in distress saves herself. This is an epic tale of true love and high adventure set in an alt-universe of action, history, fantasy, comedy, romance, and rompy-pompy. Buckle up.
This tv show contains 46 potentially triggering events.
The dog doesn’t die but about 17ish minutes into the episode she does have a dagger to her throat. Ultimately she’s unharmed but it gave me major anxiety for a sec
A mentally abused child turns on their parent and forces them to do something they don't want but it's all somewhat harmless and painted in a humorous light
In the first couple minutes a character is restrained with wrist restraints on top of a table. No harm comes to her and she is released pretty quickly.
Not on screen but it's heavily implied that a race is being hunted and killed for fun. They are also being tortured and made experiments with in a special prison.
Mary cheats on Seymour (assuming they’re exclusive, but I can’t remember if the status of their relationship has been stated. Nonetheless, Seymour seems hurt)
There is not a modern hospital scene, but King Edward is shown being treated by nuns at one point. However, he is in a single room with only one bed, not a dormitory that could resemble a modern hospital.
2 characters have a sexual relationship with a large age gap. It is unknown how old the youngest is, but I assume an adult of a reasonable age based on the actor who plays him (ignoring the actual ages of people in history since this story is HIGHLY fictionalized already). The intelligence difference is more concerning.
Also, a young girl (late teens maybe?) is in an arranged marriage with an old man but luckily *SPOILERS* it was a VERY short marriage
