Product Description
Mining one of history`s most infamous figures to create a rich episodic drama, Showtime`s THE TUDORS takes on the early life of King Henry VIII, played by Jonathan Rhys Meyers (MATCH POINT). With enough rivalries, scandals, and debauchery to make MELROSE PLACE blush, the engrossing series follows the 16th-century monarch`s rise to power, political conflicts, and personal ruthlessness. Filled with lavish sets that flawlessly evoke the era, this first season charts the headstrong leader`s shifting allegiances at home and abroad, his notorious affair with Anne Boleyn (Natalie Dormer), and his eventual rupture with the Catholic Church. No stuffy costume drama, THE TUDORS features a talented acting ensemble that includes Sam Neill (JURASSIC PARK) as Cardinal Thomas Wolsey, Jeremy Northam (GOSFORD PARK) as Sir Thomas More, and Gabrielle Anwar (SCENT OF A WOMAN) as Henry`s sister. This collection presents all 10 episodes of the first season. Copyright (C) Muze Inc. 2005. For personal use only. All rights reserved.

Tudors Season one (Tinky2z, SF East-Bay area, California, 2008-06-06)

This is a beautiful series. Filmed like a movie with 'A' list acting. The costumes are second to none. I can watch this over and over again and it appeals to everyone in my family. i sent this to my sister and she was thrilled. Before you watch it make sure that you clear your schedule because you will find yourself on a marathon and reluctant to pause even for the restroom break. I think if we could bring more of these types of films to students in junior high school, history would be the favorite class. Drama, intrigue, love, lust, betrayal and politics. It will capture and hold your attention for every second. I give Tudors my highest recomendation.

The Tudors is fascinating (SFwoman, San Francisco, CA, 2008-02-17)

I realize that this series is not historically accurate and takes advantage of some of the myths associated with Henry VIII. However, I found that it inspired me to look up and learn more about this period in history, which actually forced me to learn the real history. I found it entertaining as did my husband who is not interested in historical accuracy at all. It is not suitable for children. The price on overstock was the best deal I could find at the time.

The Tudors , Season 1 (EL37, , 2008-02-06)

This series would be analogous to the modern day series of The Sopranos. Some things never change. Regardless of the extra curricular antics that go on, which still occur in this modern day, this is excellent for the history of young King Henry VIII. Never a boring moment for his majesty. The extra dialogue of the tour of King Henry in England is very interesting and very well done. I hope there is going to be a 2nd season of this series.

Great Series (Zoie2001, New York, 2008-02-02)

The Tudors is a fascinating series. It is fairly historically acurate. Most of the historic events are acurate, but out of order. The show definately keeps you interested, even if you are not a history buff. The only caution I would have is that the show is not for all ages. The series includes language and adult content.

One of the better shows on tv (alma79, Massachesetts, 2008-01-30)

I love timepieces for shows. Not only is the cast amazing the content of the story is great. . . I watched this on Showtime and this was one of only 2 shows that I like to watch. A bit of nudity but overall a great show
