1. I found the only thing good about the show was looking at young Henry. |
|
I wish they would do a show about his daughter Elizabeth the I.

3. An awful series- so many innaccuracies and over the top emo. acting. |
|
So bad a web site was devoted to exposing the mistakes. http://www.thetudorswiki.com/page/The+Tudors+Historical+Inaccuracies+Season+3?t=anonThe series, Masterpiece Theater's "The Six Wives of Henry the Eighth", was done better in the 70's with a much lower budget.

5. I've seen many of the more realistic accounts of Tudor England and |
|
Henry V111 and yes, this wasn't an accurate piece by any means ..... I enjoyed it though as an action series, it was just really colourful and interesting. Something different I guess.

7. It's not meant to be history. |
|
It's entertainment loosely based on history. Just sit back and enjoy the show.
Possible spoiler below...
Short spoiler version of series: Divorced, beheaded, died. Divorced, beheaded, survived.
