History YMMV / Six

--> '''Anne Boleyn:''' HOLD UP GUYS I THINK HE’S ACTUALLY GONNA CHOP MY HEAD UP. [{{Beat}}] [[VerbalBackPedaling Eh, I mean,]] I guess he must've really liked my ''[[DoesThisRemindYouOfAnything head]].'' [[MirthlessLaughter He-He.]]

** For that matter, does Anne Boleyn put up a front of being a carefree ditz to suppress her own abuse? Note that in live performances she actually cuts off the song to legitimately panic about her impending beheading, before quickly backpedaling with a joke.

* HollywoodHomely: In the grand tradition of Tudor-focused media, the actresses playing the allegedly-ugly Anne of Cleves have all been lovely. The show makes no effort to pretend otherwise, and a couple lines in "Get Down" are devoted to snarking at this. (Of course, given that Henry was probably looking for an excuse to divorce her, and a couple of his contemporaries said that Anne was actually quite pretty, so it ''might'' be justified.)

* BaseBreaker: Sixcago, [[TheyChangedItNowItSucks mainly for some of the changes made]], such as replacing, “mate,” with, “bro,” and NotEvenBotheringWithTheAccent.

* TheWoobie: While all of the wives apply to some extent for various reasons, Katherine Howard stands out for having been used by ('''much''') older men for sex since she was ''thirteen.'' When she sings about finally finding a friend who doesn't expect sex from her in Thomas Culpepper only to have those hopes dashed away with the realization that he also only sees her as a sex object rather than a person, you just wanna give her a hug.

** "Sorry, not sorry 'bout what I said, I'm just tryin' to have some fun..."
** "I'm the queen of the castle. Get down, you dirty rascal..." Even more so because the tune is taken from a popular playground song; you've almost certainly heard it at some point growing up.

** All of "Six," if you think about it. The women describe what their lives would've been like if they'd never married Henry, and all of them would've been ''so much happier''. (Well, except for maybe Anne of Cleves, who got a pretty sweet deal in the end in reality as well.) In particular, Katherine Howard imagines a world where she told Henry Mannox to piss off, and decided she didn't need him. It's hard not to tear up a little at the realization of how abused this girl was. And throughout the song, the women sing that this concert -- in which they've retaken the narrative and spoken for themselves for once -- is only going to last "five more minutes." After those five minutes are up, the show is over... and we're back in the real world, where most of these women we've gotten to know and care about met tragic ends, and most people simply remember them for how their marriages ended. Ouch.
** The bridge of "No Way," in which Catherine of Aragon [[SincerityMode sincerely]] tells Henry that if he truly has a good reason for divorcing her, if she's really caused him any pain, she'll accept the annulment and leave with no further hassle. She just wants him to explain a single thing she's done wrong. But, of course, Henry ''doesn't'' have a good reason, which just pisses Catherine off even further.
** "Heart of Stone," in which Jane Seymour, "the only one he truly loved," makes it clear she is ''well'' aware that Henry's love for her would likely evaporate if anything happened to their son. And, tragically, it did, though Jane was long dead by the time Edward passed away.

** "You must think that I'm crazy. You wanna replace me? Baby, there's no-no-no-no-no-no-''no way''.

* {{Squick}}:
** Katherine Howard was only thirteen when she had allegedly lost her virginity to Henry Mannox.
** The methods of beauty described in the song, "Haus of Holbein." Special mention to using ''urine'' to bleach hair.

* SecondSeasonDownfall: Viewer reaction to Season 2 was much more negative compared to the first and it definitely showed in the ratings, where S2 lost almost exactly half its viewership. A number of commonly cited factors are killing off Rip and relegating him to a freaking ''SpiritAdvisor'' of all things to a shell-shocked Bear, the casting of Creator/OliviaMunn [[WTHCastingAgency as a hardened CIA interrogator]] who is presented as [[CharacterShilling the one everyone should listen to because she knows what she's doing]], the ramping up of the [=SEALs'=] family drama UpToEleven, and introducing new teammates who are just plain unlikable [[{{Jerkass}} jerks]] like Trevor and Chase. All in all, it is no surprise the show got axed.

** RIP, especially after his divorce.
** Bear. At the beginning of season one he is about to become a father. Flash forward a few years and we learn that his daughter Sarah died when she was only a few months old, and he and his wife are having difficulty conceiving another child. [[spoiler:And to make things even worse for him, Bear's wife leaves him at the end of season one.]]

* HarsherInHindsight: Trevor speaks of Fishbait as a sleeper agent due to his 9/11 views that the West didn't put the Saudis in lawsuits since most of the hijackers were Saudi and he doesn't believe that other relgions have extremists. Cue reports of radical Buddhists targeting Muslim minorities in Burma and Sri Lanka in 2017 and 2018.
