Summary of The Tudors

Mining one of history's most infamous figures to create a rich episodic drama, Showtime's THE TUDORS takes on the early life of King Henry VIII, played by Jonathan Rhys Meyers (MATCH POINT). With enough rivalries, scandals, and debauchery to make MELROSE PLACE blush, the engrossing series follows the 16th-century monarch's rise to power, political conflicts, and personal ruthlessness. Filled with lavish sets that flawlessly evoke the era, this first season charts the headstrong leader's shifting allegiances at home and abroad, his notorious affair with Anne Boleyn (Natalie Dormer), and his eventual rupture with the Catholic Church. No stuffy costume drama, THE TUDORS features a talented acting ensemble that includes Sam Neill (JURASSIC PARK) as Cardinal Thomas Wolsey, Jeremy Northam (GOSFORD PARK) as Sir Thomas More, and Gabrielle Anwar (SCENT OF A WOMAN) as Henry's sister.

Entertaining
Not the best history to be had, but it's fun and sexy in the first season, accepting the pilot which is really clunky. The second season, particularly the second half of the second season, is DARK so... don't watch it if you don't like torture...
SPOILER ALERT.....Season 1, I call Getting Rid of Katherine-I really loved this TV Series of "THE TUDORS". I am glad that I rented it. I have watch most of the movies about "Elizabeth I" and there was always something missing, I could not understand...
Likely to see
Not for me
