I may be late in the game, but I just recently got into the show ‘the Tudors’ on Showtime. Jonathan Rys Meyers stars as the brutish, arrogant and forceful young King Henry, and the semi-historically accurate [with some passionate fiction thrown in] show is now taking over all my damn free time, of which there is precious little already.
The show centers around King Henry’s court, unhappy marriage to the beloved Queen Katherine, and subsequent obsession with the young and cunning Anne Boleyn, as well as the corruption of the church run by his entrusted Cardinal, Wollsey. The opulence of the show addicts a fashion demon such as myself, as well as the successful tension building up to climactic scenes.
