Customer Rating:
Summary: Tudors Season I
Comment: Wonderful price for such an amazing, extravegent show! Every episode was better than the next, in that the drama only intensified. The only downside to the item is the lack of bonus features, but the episodes themselves make up for it.

Comment: Glad to add this in my DVD collection. Would recommend to anyone who enjoys the series.
Customer Rating:
Summary: Sex, power, religion, intrigue, fantastic!
Comment: I don't watch much television, but The Tudors is wonderful. Hardly any of the characters are good people, but they are complex, well-drawn, and fascinating. The performances are outstanding: especially Sam Neill as Cardinal Wolsey, Jeremy Northram as Thomas More, Natalie Dormer as the sometimes sly, sometimes passionate Ann Boleyn, and Maria Doyle Kennedy as Catherine of Aragon. The writing is consistently intelligent, and the sets and costumes are sumptuous. It's a very sexy and exciting series.
I find criticisms of historical accuracy rather beside the point. Writers have always played fast and loose with historical details--I think of Alexander Dumas' The Three Musketeers, not to mention the historical plays of Shakespeare. I am very well-versed in this period of history, and while not everything here is strictly accurate, I do think the series, besides being fabulous entertainment, would give the casual viewer a better understanding of the manners, the mores, the main events, and the conflicts of that era.
Customer Rating:
Summary: Stunning!
Comment: I absolutely LOVE this show. JRM is gorgeous and oh so perfect for this role! I know there are about a million horrible reviews on this series, but most of them are from history buffs, not folks who simply like to be swept away by beatiful people, lush cinemetography, breathtaking clothes, steamy sex and chilling drama. A must-see for those who don't mind so much about the historical inconsistencies.

Summary: A Sexy Show
Comment: This is a really sexy show and Johnathan Rhyes-Meyers is absolutely hot and delivers a wonderful performance as Henry the eight.

Editorial Reviews:
|
The Tudors presents the rarely dramatized tumultuous early years of King Henry VIII s nearly 40 year omnipotent reign (1509-1547). In addition to his famous female consorts and 20+ year marriage to Catherine of Aragon to the infamous dalliance with Anne Boleyn the series delves in to Henry s most notable political relationship and the deconstruction of the Roman Catholic Church in England.Format: DVD MOVIE Genre: TELEVISION/SERIES & SEQUELS UPC: 097368516045 Manufacturer No: 851604
