the Tudors

One of my all time fav (recent) tv shows - THE TUDORS.

Its a drama based on the life and wives of Henry the eighth..
its not the best documentary based on the 17th century king and some of the facts have been twisted to fit the dramatic nature of the show, but cmon..if u want to see an accurate documentary, turn on the History channel..this is a mix of politics, love, war, sex, infedelity, beautiful people, unimaginable luxourious living and beautifully twisted facts all mashed up into one hell of an entertaining series.
I wont lie, i started watching it because of one of the charecters on the show, Henry's best friend Duke of Suffolk (Henry Caville) who is deliciously gorgeous..but i swear to you, i was HOOKED (in the true sense of the word) after the 3rd episode.
Great sets, language(im guessing) is pretty accurate, acting is GREAT in some roles(Queen Kathrine of Aragon; Anne Bolyn) but falls a little short in the case of the extras-who mostly look like jesters posing at Madam Tussauds, as wax statues in the background.

Ofcorse we all the know the storyline-Henry and his wives who he unceremoniously beheaded/killed/generally was very mean to ..but this goes into detail of the religious, political sexual nature of the times(exagerated ofcourse-otherwise it wouldnt be fun).
And the best part, esp if your like me and LOVE tv series, is the one hour long episodes..:)

It takes you on a rollercoaster ride of emotions...some of mine?
Started with attraction-bordering on obsession of Charles(Duke of Suffolk);
Hate and surprise at the shockingly shallow, selfish and ego-centric nature of king Henry; my heart went out toQueen Kathrine as her life shook and shattered before her; and then a weird sense of amusement and curiosity at the evil ways of Anne bolyn(she was probably one of my fav charecters in the series..
The rest..
Well i suggest you watch it and share ur thoughts on it with me.
