Sure the show The Tudors may not be 100% accurate, but it is packed full of pretty people getting the axe, the sex and the King’s wrath. It gives a good basic overview of Henry the IIX’s reign while also providing plenty of soap operay goodness. Many famous faces of the UK appear on the show, one of the most famous being King Henry played by Jonathon Rhys Meyers. My personal favorite is Henry Cavill who plays the King’s good friend Charles Brandon. He’s fun to watch whether he is being carefree doing all the girls of England or once he grows up and takes on his responsibility being a duke. Either way, he’s pretty and does a good job of showing Brandon’s natural transformation into real adulthood.
The first two seasons focus primarily on the country-rattling relationship between Henry and Anne Boleyn. The season covers several years but is able to show the progression of their relationship along with Henry’s leadership. One of the best aspects of season 2 is seeing Anne’s transformation from powerful lady to queen and eventually paranoid mess.
Season three then moves on to show wives three and four. It just came to an end but season 4 has been announced. It seems that wives five and six will have their time next spring.
The Tudors may not be the show to watch if you are looking for a completely accurate historical account of Henry IIX, but if you are looking for some steamy goodness it is definitely worth watching.
This is where I get a little sauced and talk about God knows what. From pop culture ramblings to pictures that make me giggle, I post it all here. So grab a bottle of wine and stick to the nonsense because, "
