Power, politics, love, religion, and blasphemy - the tale of this historical family would sound impossible if it weren't true. The Tudors were one of the most controversial royal lines ever to sit on the throne of England, and their story is told through this opulent and suspenseful series produced by Showtime. The show stars Jonathan Rhys Myers as King Henry VIII, a charismatic and notoriously amorous figure with a lust for life, and for the beautiful women at court. His dutiful wife Katherine has served him lovingly for more than a decade, but the wife of a king in 1520 must do more than serve - she must produce an heir. As the young monarch contends with each advisor playing their own interest in the threat of war with France, fear over the security of the Tudor line grows steadily in his mind, so much so that when he becomes involved with the bewitching and ambitious Anne Boelyn, he sets off a chain of events that will change history - igniting an onslaught of tumult and intrigue that would rage on for years, serving as the catalyst for political divide, religious war, and romantic betrayal.

The Series was called "The Tudors, but was actually an extragavantly sex-soaked remake of the 1970 series, "The Six Wives of Henry VIII". The reign of the First Tudor, Henry VII lasted 27 years, but is only briefly mentioned in Season 1 Episode 1 While the reigns of Edward VI, "Bloody" Mary I, and Elizabeth I (56 years) are mentioned only in the last few moments of the Season 4 Finale. Costuming is excellent, sets beautifully done, but the aging of the characters is extremely uneven. While he is a fine actor, the casting of Jonathon Rys Meyers as Henry VIII, and then making no effort whatsoever to make him look like Henry (wrong hair color, wrong beard style, wrong eye color, wrong build) was, in my opinion a terrible mistake. Evidently, Showtime focused more on sex-appeal than history by having him appear more like an Italian Gigolo, than the English monarch.
