...heart of the conflict is the mix of Anne and Mary's sisterhood and sibling rivalry. Having both bedded the King of England, can they kiss and make up? This being more a Masterpiece Theatre episode than a pay-TV romp à la The Tudors, it never leaves you in doubt that noble sentiment will win out over sexual intrigue, that hanky will trump panky.

However, American educational attitudes toward homosexuality remain lamentably ambivalent. On the one hand, Lawrence King felt comfortable enough in his school environment to come out at such a young age.
