"The Tudors" zugraveste in culori vii viata lui Henry al VIII-lea, introducandu-ne in atmosfera Curtii in primii ani de domnie, cand regele era tanar, cu dor de glorie si chef de amor nebun. Henry al VIII-lea este al doilea rege al Angliei din Dinastia Tudorilor, dupa tatal sau Henry al VII-lea.Henric al VIII-lea a eliminat catolicismul din insula in favoarea anglicanismului si a avut sase sotii (Catherine de Aragon, Anne Boleyn, Jane Seymour, Ana de Cleves, Catherine Howard si Catherine Parr), dintre care a repudiat doua si a omorat alte doua, ambele activitati executate spre binele... poporului, desigur. Multiplele intrigi de culise, toridele aventuri extra conjugale, decesele suspecte si aliantele de conjunctura, ce se succed, unele dupa altele, intr-un ritm ametitor, fac din acest curs de istorie extrem de dependent, premiat deja cu doua Emmy-uri (pentru tema muzicala si pentru costume), o intalnire saptamanala obligatorie si nicidecum facultativa...
A dramatic series about the reign and marriages of King Henry VIII.
