Really the best kind of show would take all the sides, show motivation for everyone and how they can be both right and wrong at the same time. For example Henry V invading France was not really a good idea, despite later ringing speeches and appreciation for longbows.

After all, it's history, they all made a lot of mistakes, there were no Avatars Of Good And Evil, just people.

But I can't think of any series that has done that kind of nuance, anyone?

When it comes to Richard III, people don't seem very interested in nuance, unfortunately. You see an example of it upthread where a nonny assumes that if you don't think Richard III is innocent, then you must be a victim of vicious Tudor propaganda and are also romanticizing Henry VII. In the mind of a lot of Ricardians, it's just that black vs. white. They cannot imagine others taking a more objective, nuanced look at BOTH Richard and Henry, because they cannot bring themselves to do so for Richard.
