The Tudors

[Lbelle]

Has anyone else seen this show and thinks it's as amazing as I do? Not just because I'm a huge Jonathan Rhys Meyers fangirl, but the show itself is wonderful I think. I love the way they portray Henry, I love the cinematography, the costumes, the acting, everything.

Also--let me just say right off the bat that I'm no history buff, and honestly I know very little of Henry the VIII and his expeditions, other than the fact he had six wives. From what I've heard the show is somewhat historically inaccurate, but at the same time I love it so very much.

It's on Showtime on Sundays, and if you don't get Showtime (like me) here's the link so you can watch the show:

Let me know what you think! It's very good, and in episode 3 I believe he actually mentioned "The Garter" haha.

[Koyuki]

You just watch it for the man-ass.

Actually the time period in which the show takes place really fascinates me. It's not my fault they cast one of the sexiest men ever as the lead, and other extremely gorgeous guys as the costars.

But really, if you actually watch the show there are PLENTY of naked, beautiful women in every episode too.

You have piqued my interest young one.

I've seen previews for this and it looks interesting, but what time is it on? Can't be missing Family Guy lol

And what do you mean by "he mentioned 'the garter'?"

he says it on the show.

i've seen 3 episodes, it's good cause the subject matter is different but the show itself isn't anything amazing.

i don't think the actress who plays Anne Boleyn is all that.

[Swampthing]

Wow, I just read that wiki article, that is pretty fascinating.

Is the Order of the Garter where BG took its name?

What did I miss?

So this is a huge necrobump from like over two years ago, but I started the original thread so I think it's okay if I bump it because it's relevant again! But please move it to Bentertainment Geekly

The Tudors, one of my favorite period dramas ever, is back and in its 4th season! Is anyone else watching this?

I loved the first and second episodes so much, and holy FUCK Culpepper is the hottest bad guy ever! The new Queen is pretty good too, she's annoying and ditzy but that's how she's supposed to be so I like her.

Can't wait for Sundays anymore!!

Moved!

[Lbelle]

Thank you sir

I only watched the first season and that sex scene at the end of the first season was made of fail.

Guess I have some catching up to do.

I love this show and I think this season will be made of win and tits like all the others, but I really kind of hated the trailer they did for it. I knew enough about the history to know how many times he married and to whom, but I didn't really remember the manner in which each of them was dismissed. I felt like they could have kept at least a little intrigue about either the arc of the story or the relationships between each of the queens in this season and the people around them. They really didn't do either, and I feel like it took all the anticipation right out of it. It played more like a summary trailer of a previous season at the beginning of a new one, rather than the teaser for the events to come.

[tyven]

i think i will start watching this show

[rezn0r]

my gf is from england and she loves it. i try to play games or something while it's on, so at least i'm hanging out, but i don't really want to watch it. i thought parts of some episodes last season were cool, and i "saw" (was looking at my monitor but heard the whole episode) the premiere of this season and it sounded like one long orgy haha.

Isn't he on to wife #5 in the 4th season?

Shouldn't he be all fat and sweaty by now?

I enjoyed the early storylines, and my wife loves it, but she's a big history buff and loves this time period.

[Blackice]

Fat and sweaty doesn't make for good TV sex scenes.
