i was just treated to a sneak peek of this show ( the first two eppys). it is excellently done. Jonathan Rhys Meyers does a good job portraying the young Henry VIII. i so love this period of English history. i dont know how accurate it is, but from what i have seen so far, it seems to be following known facts as far as the French, English in fighting and conspiracys including fathers using their daughters to influence the king.
sadly i dont have Showtime but this show kinda makes me want to get it just for this show. here is the linky just in case you want more info on this show. The Tudors

Hmmm, I've been debating about getting Showtime because of Weeds and Dexter, but if they have another excellent show I may just have to break down and get it.

yeah, tough call. not sure i really want to pay more than i am already. BTW, i was looking at that link i left. seems that you too can watch the first eppy. so give it a look and see if you think Jonathan and the cast are worth the extra bucks. i am still trying to decide.
ETA: Sam Neil is playing a Cardinal, which just strikes me as funny, b/c he played Damian in the last Omen movie. yeah i know, long time ago, but i find the oddiest things funny.

I watched the first eppy and I liked it pretty well. I love that period of time.
Sam Neill is great as always.
But Showtime is so funny with it's previews. It's going on and on about Henry and Anne like it's a great love tale and we know he takes her head off. It's kind of funny.
But I'll be tuning in because you know it's got pretty and hot sex.
I saw the first 4 eppies and I like it so far. I admit, I was only bored when I tuned in first and I read on imdb that Jonathan is in it and he's kinda hot...
Anyway, I really enjoyed it. A lot of ppl were comparing it to Rome and said Rome is way better but I have to disagree. I watched only 1 eppy of Rome and got kinda annoyed with it. Maybe because I know more about that period of time and at the time Rome started there were a lot movies and shows with the same subject, that it all seemed a little too "predictable" (I know "predictable" is probably the wrong word since we're talking about historic facts )
I enjoy The Tudors because I think I only know 1 or 2 older movies about this time and I like to know more about it.
I'm loving the show. I do know a lot of the story from history channel specials, and I worry that they are moving the story along too fast to sustain the show. But I don't know enough of the history to get mad if they get something wrong. And yeah there is a LOT of sex among very hot people, so that's always nice as well. But I really had to giggle at the Princess with the old king, that was hysterical! Oh yeah and Johnathan is very hot as well, so you can't go wrong there.
