Customer Rating:      Summary: Perfect! Comment: This is the best series I have seen in my life. I am crazy about this show.
Customer Rating:      Summary: Tudors 1 - Fact or Fiction Comment: I have now viewed all of the first series, well, there is now doubt the emphasis is on sexual content, rather than historic content.
It may be that the historical content is so well known, that they had to do something to make it interesting!
Why, did they have to make a show of the king masturbating into a towel held by one of his man servants!!!
That aside, the costumes were stunning and the casting was excellent.
If you want to watch a softporn series, great, go for it.
I await the second series with anticipation . . .
Just to see if the producers can come up with something interesting in the story line, if they dare!
Customer Rating:      Summary: Which Number Wife Will The Series End With? Comment: The Tudors - Season 2Does anyone know if the producers of this series plan to go all the way through to Catherine Parr (wife #6)? I can't imagine the guy playing Henry VIII allowing his character to grow old and fat, even though that is what really happened.
Customer Rating:      Summary: Although not historically accurate, still very entertaining Comment: While it isn't an accurate account of Henry's life, it is still very entertaining to watch. I think the actor's are good, there is plenty of drama, great sets and costumes etc. I am not a historian OR a movie critic; just a regular TV viewer. I enjoyed it on Showtime and now again on DVD.
Customer Rating:      Summary: Pretty period piece Comment: I would never expect Showtime to produce first rate historical drama. That is not what they do. Showtime is in the business of slick entertainment, and that's exactly what they've given us in The Tudors. With the exception of PBS and, at times, The History Channel, it is fatuous to count on the entertainment industry to teach us history.
Viewed as mere entertainment, The Tudors is a success. It's got visual impact, conspiracy, treachery, sex, arrogance, and power plays. And beautiful people in all the important roles. Television so often offers so little in the way of compelling programing that this series is a welcome way to while away a rainy evening. But for true Tudor history, find a good book.

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.Format: DVD MOVIE Genre:Â TELEVISION/SERIES & SEQUELS UPC:Â 097368516045 Manufacturer No:Â 851604
