Summary: this series looks very promising!
Comment: the first season is passionate, funny, powerful, and political. in combination with the eerie nostalgia one feels when watching these characters, it makes for an obsessive fanbase. i myself have already preordered the second season and am counting the minutes until it arrives!

Summary: Who can resist King Henry VIII?
Comment: As a fan of period movies, I could not miss the Season 1 of "The Tudors". Henry VIII, King of England is known to most as a man who broke from the Catholic Church to become Head of the Church of England and marry six women. Such infamy secured him a place in history, but so was the fact that it was his daughter with Anne Boleyn - Queen Elizabeth I, who was one of the most benevolvent rules of her time. In any case, season 1 has four DVDs that will entertain you for almost 12 hours. Perfect time to watch it would be this holiday season. I was suprised that series had so much sex in it but also the twists and turns about historical background for Henry's decision-making and his pick of the closest advisors on his court is something I wanted to understand better. Writers do get sloppy towards the end of the series and the language is not as sophisticated as one would expect it to be on the Court of one of the greatest kings of his time. I find Jonathan Rhys Meyers to be excellent in his role, but perhaps too young to play a king married for 20 years to Queen Catherine. Maria Kennedy who play Queen Catherine of Aragon, Queen of England is graceful and dignified. Unlike the actress Natalie Dormer portraying Anne Boleyn. Ms. Dormer is too coarse and unsophisticated in her role for a someone (like Anne Boleyn)who was witty enought to keep Henry's interest for so long,speak fluent French after being at the French court for many years. This portrayal of Anne Boleyn is not befitting of a woman who was a mother of one of the most influential queens of the british royal history. Court politics, intrigues and the switch of loyalties will keep your attention. The lessons learned are the ones that apply event o today's modern times and that is perhaps the one more reason for having this series so popular. I cannot wait to see season 2. Costumes and jewelry are breathtaking.

Summary: A visual feast!
Comment: Though some have commented on a few historical inaccuracies in this production, the overwhelmingly beautiful nature of this CBC/Irish Television/Showtime series leaves nothing to be desired.
The casting could not be better, and the acting is most excellent. Costumes, sets, and whatever it takes to make a film like this noteworthy have been well executed.
English history buffs and anyone interested in listening to a well-told tale will be rewarded with viewing The Tudors. I do not often replay films or televison productions, but this is one that can be played over again and again to experience the magic and charm of a first-rate quality film.
One wishes these producers would continue the tale of the Tudors with Edward VI, Mary, and Elizabeth's reigns as colourful as their father's, making good material for a few years' more of productions.
