"in my opinion his content of historical plays he shows himself to be an establishment lackey. however he does write beautifully. how do others feel about his work"

Absolutely correct about being an establishment lackey! BUT! He was living in a different time, ruled by a monarchy believing in Divine right.
Elizabeth 1. During her reign she topped   a bunch of people. No bleeding heart liberals back in days of yore, society was far more regimented. " The actors of Shakespeare’s age saw fluctuations in reputation; actors were alternately classified as “vagabonds and sturdy beggars,” as an act of Parliament in 1572 defined them, and as servants of noblemen". actors lived lives of danger and instability because when they abandoned their respectable trades, they also left behind the comfort and protection of the trade guilds. A second Act followed
In the first one, the Queen forbade “‘the unlawful retaining of multitudes of unordinary servants by liveries, badges, and other signs and tokens (contrary to the good and ancient statutes and laws of this realm)’” in order to “curb the power of local grandees”. To make matters even worse, these actors faced yet another impediment: the “‘Acte for the punishment of Vacabondes’”, in which actors were declared “vagabonds and masterless men and hence were subject to arrest and imprisonment”
A significant indication of Shakespeare's talent is the very fact that he played in London rather than touring other less lucrative towns. If players were to be legally retained by noblemen, they had to prove they could act, and one means of demonstrating their legitimacy was playing at court for Queen Elizabeth. The more skilled companies obtained the queen’s favor and were granted permission to remain in London.
Shakespeare and his company performed successfully in London from the early 1590s until 1611.
In order to exist and perform you not only had to be competent but also be appealing to the monarchy. Inevitably this makes an establishment lackey. There was no other viable choice.

The mileu of the times also dictated scientific thought, as galileo found out to his cost. Also during the 16th 17th centuries it is estimated 80,000 were executed for witchcraft in europe.
