Summary: Amazing and Addicting!
Comment: I love this period of history, I studied it in master's school. This is a great series and I cannot wait till season 2 comes out on DVD. Do not expect this to be historically accurate because it is not. Although in season 2 they get a little bit better with following history. Nonetheless, this is entertaining and Jonathan Rys Myers is amazing as Henry VIII, even if he doesn't really look like him. This is a drama filled, sometimes raunchy series that will get you hooked from episode 1. If you want to learn about the Tudors and the whole era, I suggest you pick up a book by David Starkey or some other historical work.

Summary: Total Rock 'n Roll Crapola
Comment: So bad that words fail me utterly. This series evinces an embarrassingly sad and abysmal testament to the paucity of interest in history, scholarship & art on the part of its makers. It wouldn't even work as a music video.
Just ghastly.

Summary: History, supercharged
Comment: A vibrant and sensual retelling of Anglo history. Some liberties with fact are taken, but they generally serve the story well. Acting and production values are top drawer.
This series would be a good stimulus for those who avoid historical dramas. I particularly liked the corrective portrayal (from most films) of Sir Thomas More. Humanist indeed.

Summary: When I depair of the tripe on tv something comes along, &
Comment: changes my mind. Such is The Tudors, a wonderful period piece & so much more. Each episode is movie production quality. Everything we know & don't know is dramatically interpereted by an excellent cast. History? Yes. Good history? Well, it is sexy & profane drama based on historical facts. I am not so brillant as some of the reviewers here that seem to know what exactly happened over 500 years ago. It is the early years of Henry's reign & he is attempting to populate the kingdom single-handedly. He seems to copulate with every woman in court. Except, of course, his wife, Catherine, who vexes him & refuses to give him a divorce & Anne who will not sleep with him until she is queen. Political alliance with the continential powers are very fluid. Spain, France The Austrian Empire, the Pope are all players as allies enemies & allies once again. Personal intrique gives The Tudors a slightly soap opera odor as characters form alliances to settle scores. I'm a little late to this series but am really looking forward to the second season.

Editorial Reviews:
|
The Tudors presents the rarely dramatized, tumultuous early years of King Henry VIII’s nearly 40 year, omnipotent reign (1509-1547). In addition to his famous female consorts and 20+ year marriage to Catherine of Aragon to the infamous dalliance with Anne Boleyn, the series delves in to Henry’s most notable political relationship and the deconstruction of the Roman Catholic Church in England.
