The Tudors - Manny Calavera - 04-20-2017 This is a show about Henry the 8th. It was a really good show. Its kind of like game of thrones minus the fantasy stuff. Has anyone here watched it? RE: The Tudors - Black Widow - 04-20-2017 Yup all episodes and I love this: I think its better than game of thrones! For some reason history trumps fantasy every time. Also given its historical context the events of Henry VIII and his 5 wives have shaped modern society today. The concepts of the EU and the Protestant Church were his ideas, he turned Europe on its head in the pursuit to have a male heir. Funny though how in the end, it was a Woman that ultimately succeeded him to the throne and Anne Boleyn was the one who delivered that heir. Ultimately though I think Henry VIII was a charlatan and defiler of the realm. This series is truly original, storyline filled with blood, deceit, sex and murder. RE: The Tudors - Thunderer - 04-20-2017 Henry VIII was the prodigal son who spent the wealth Henry VII had accumulated. The church was still ripe for plunder, though RE: The Tudors - Manny Calavera - 04-21-2017 (04-20-2017, 04:05 PM)Black Widow Wrote: I think its better than game of thrones!
