The Tudors



Jonathan Rhys Meyers Rocks!5
This program has something for everyone: history, romance, sex, violence, you name it. Rhys Meyers is outstanding as the young King Henry VIII, as are Maria Doyle Kennedy as Katherine of Aragon, Sam Eliot as Cardinal Wolsey, Jeremy Northam as Sir Thomas More - the list goes on and on. The production values are impeccable - costumes, sets, all are first class. It's fascinating to see Henry from this viewpoint, as a young man. He was indeed the "rock star" of his age.
