The Tudors, Showtime's all-of-the-above series, comes roaring back Sunday night as fresh as its first season.
80
The sexy, sudsy historical drama returns without missing a beat.
75
With all the intrigue of a Shakespearean drama and all the coiled intensity of youthful power-brokering and rampant sexuality, it's hard to not like this version of Henry VIII.
70
Good fun, and not as bastardized as its advertising campaign suggests.
60
Ultimately, this series diminishes the king.

I don't want to beat up on Meyers here. He does justice to Hirst's Henry, if not entirely to history's, and being young and good-looking is hardly a crime. But like Tony Soprano, Henry VIII brings more to the table than charisma: Corrupted by absolute power, he's a bit of a monster.

It's unfair to lay every fault on the actors when the dialogue is so insubstantial, verging on sophomoric and mawkish in a few exchanges

Petite remarque en préambule : en anglais, il est usuel de mettre un s aux noms propres (The Tudors) mais en français on n’en met point : les Dupont, les Tuche, les Tudor !… mais passons sur cette bourde sur l’adaptation du titre qu’on voit sur tous les coffrets dvd… Cette fresque en quatre saisons sur la vie pour le moins tumultueuse d’Henry VIII est remarquable de brio et tout y est fort bien expliqué et narré avec talent, combinant ainsi avec brio réalité historique et romance.Jonathan Rhys-Meyer est stupéfiant dans un rôle pourtant difficile, de même que l’ensemble des acteurs très impliqués. On retrouve aussi quelques ‘guest stars’ appréciables et appréciées (Sam Neill, Jeremy Northam, Peter O’Toole, Max Von Sydow, excusez du peu !…). Une série très ‘intrigante’ dans tous les sens du terme et qui sait garder le cap (et le rythme) la très grande majorité du temps, ce qui n’est certainement pas rien en matière de série télé, on en conviendra.

This just seems like an excuse for people to watch a lot of gratuitous sex scenes and feel good about it, since they’re supposedly being educated about Tudor England—sort of like when people used to claim to read Playboy for the interviews. Speaking of Playboy , the hair and makeup look inspired from 1970s Playboy magazines rather than paintings of the period. What’s with all the half exposed heaving chests? I never saw that in Holbein portraits. Anne Boleyn looks all wrong. Anyone with even a cursory familiarity with her story knows she was famous for her shiny black eyes, and the show even makes reference to them but the actress playing Anne has blue eyes. Couldn’t they at least have given her colored contacts?
