Summary: Trash, but good trash.
Comment: With a showtime program you know you're gonna get some skin and some sex, and with this there is a lot of that, but there is also good story, good drama and good acting that keeps it interesting. I'd say this is more inspired by Henry VIII, not exactly based on, because let's face it, anyone that knew the history of Henry VIII, for one he wasn't exactly eye candy as the lead in this is, Jonathan Rhys-Meyers. Similarities could probably be compared to his personality...cocky, arrogant, chauvinistic, womanizer, adulterer, ego and power driven. He certainly has very little positive attributes, yet this is still riveting to watch, maybe that's why Showtime casted someone whose easy on the eyes with great acting talent to keep us all watching, and succeed at that they did. People are watching. This is nothing special, but for what Showtime was aiming to do, they certainly made it fun. It's a guilty pleasure is all, for those looking for one, but don't expect substance or shakespeare, because this it ain't, but who cares. It's only entertainment.

Summary: OUTSTANDING
Comment: Once you start watching this series, which contains ten 55 minute episodes on three discs, you're tempted to watch the entire series in one sitting. At our house, we did it in two nights.
I purchased an additional set as a Christmas gift and it was well received.
Henry VIII was a son-of-a-gun and Jonathan Rhys-Meyers does an outstanding job proving that. As a matter of fact, the entire cast does a fabulous job.
Can't wait to watch Season 2 and 3.

Summary: fabulous!!!
Comment: When I bought this used, I expected some scratches. But this was like brand new, no scratches, no problems. I will buy from these guys again! Very impressed!
Customer Rating:
Summary: Completely Awesome!!!!!
Comment: I had The Tudors on my wish list for sometime and finally ordered it. I watched the whole 1st season in 2 sittings it was that good. I don't understand the people who did not like The Tudors because it was not historically correct, So what! It's entertainment people!! It truely entertained me. I found myself thinking about it well after watching it. I put the second season on pre-order and it should be here today or tomorrow. I know I'm going to tear into it right away. The only problem is once I finish the 2nd season, I will have a LONG wait for the 3rd.
Customer Rating:
Summary: Uninteresting.
Comment: season 1 was plagued with horribly dialog, simplistic plotting and storylines, weak acting, and a lack of complexity that was overwhelming at times.
While interesting concepts were introduced from time to time these were quickly forgotten and the show relayed on what premium networks have focused on for years juvenile excuses for characters to have sex with one another. Rome had this as well but at least it managed to have an interesting story line to go along with it.
The lone bright spot of that season was Sam Neil, who quite frankly acted circles around everyone else.
That being said I have heard that Season 2 is somewhat of an improvement. I personally don't have the stomach for it but anyone even mildly interested in the show I would advise to start there because you are barking up the wrong tree with the first season.

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.
