The last few weeks, we have been totally addicted and enthralled by SHOWTIME's The Tudors... so addicted that we have seen all 3 SEASONS on DVD at least twice!!! So much to take in, so much history and dialogue... so much so that we even find ourselves GOOGLING for more INFO and reading in the BOOKSHOPS anything and everything else we can to CONFIRM who is who and how close to history the show is... which is to say, pretty close... AND MORE!!!The more part comes from the dramatization of course of the actual stories of the lives and loves of King Henry VIII - and everyone else in his court, in his times... one look at the promotional ads/posters from this SHOWTIME series and you will see that the series has so much added SEX APPEAL - from the actors to the actual scenes... playing the King with so much GUSTO is Jonathan Rhys Meyers - a fave actor of mine from Mission Impossible III, MATCH POINT, August Rush and HUGO BOSS & ENERGIE Ads... one cannot help but be hypnotized by his piercing eyes and acting chops... and the rest of the cast is OUTSTANDING... lots of GREAT ACTORS have come and gone on the show: Sam Neil, Peter OToole, Max Von Sydow, Jeremy Northam, to name a few... and also worth mentioning are Natalie Dormer as Anne Boleyn (shines throughout Season 2) & HOTTIE Henry Cavill as Charles Brandon, Duke of Suffolk (Series Regular since Season 1)...
