One thing I WILL credit The Tudors with is spreading out the story and for going OUTSIDE. Can you imagine THE SIX WIVES OF HENRY VIII being told over 40 parts, with all of the original performers, and with the lush outdoor scenes? I would be a masterpiece beyond ALL masterpieces!
shareYes you are so right. I just wished a production team did just that rather then this sexual romp. Henry didn't even get older as the story went on....

Ive watched every season of The Tudors and I agree the main problem with the show is encompassed in Jonathan RHys Myers. He is too slight, too young looking, too feminine to play a young Henry and the show refused to age him properly as the show went on. As a result I believe the stories of Anne of Cleves and Catherine Howard were done a disservice; especially Catherine who was just portrayed as a sex fiend and not a teenage girl married to a disgusting old man.
Lois Lane=Leia Lane
You are so right, Thediscopenguin. I felt the Tudors were a series for the dumb people in our society. Jonathan Rhys Myers was a rotten Henry. The best one by far was Keith Michell. All the women in the Tudors were pretty....and the number of romps in bed(it's called keeping the audience entertained) were part of the production's imagination. Over all it did the memory of Henry a disservice.
