The Tudors premieres on Showtime tonight at 10p and all I can say is the show is amazing. The Tudors is one of the most beautifully shot series I have ever seen. Could be because it is shot in Ireland or it could be the cast or the costumes? Although the visual is what got me to watch, that is not what has kept me watching.
I have to admit I am not into English history and can barely remember what I learned in school. But this show makes me want to know more. I swear I am holding back from going to Wikipedia after each episode to see how this story ends.
The Tudors is the story of a young King Henry VIII and each episode is a year in his life. It shows how he was King, the loves of his life including Anne Boleyn and his children and the conspiracies against him.
Jonathan Rhys Meyers is superb in the show and will probably get an Emmy nom for his acting. Sam Neill plays Cardinal Wolsey and for your Degrassi fans, Kristen Holden Reid is in it and for you Dead Like Me fans, Callum Blue.
BTW I forgot to mention the sex scenes are way sexy!!!
Whether you a history buff or not, The Tudors is a show to watch!!!
