I'm sick of the bad reviews of this TV show. I'm a history buff and when i started watching I never expected it to be 100% accurate. It's TV, its BASED on history. You can't expect it to be a documentary. Now, there were a few details that they left out/completely changed that would have been easier to just leave in, but whatever...it's someone else's artistic take on history. The acting is usually top notch....which shouldn't be confused with the writing. I will say the writing isn't always great, but the actors do the best they can with what they're given. Natalie Dormer is quite easily the best representation of Anne Boleyn we may ever see on the screen. (Aside from Geneviève Bujold) After the second season when Anne meets her fate, the show does lose its luster, but the 3rd season is good enough to draw you back in, and amp you up for the 4th season. The first 2 are the best in my opinion. This show should get credit for parts of history that it DOES represent quite well. It gets too much of a bad rap for changing some things, rather than praise for keeping some great details. So keep in mind that this isn't completely accurate, but how many of us expect that from a TV show that isn't a documentary? I don't. I consider myself a Tudors buff as well. If anything this show will make you research the dynasty and learn more!

The Tudors on Blu-Ray is how it should be. Colors are lush. Costumes are resplendent in all their glory. Skin tones are pure. The story as we all know is loosely, sometimes very loosely based on Henry and his exploits. It is fun, historical, intriguing and entertaining. What more do you want in a mini-series. I watched Rome as well and this one may be a bit better.

A series that is captivating in every way - hard to stop watching- every episode a wonderful eye appealing story. Soooooooooo entertaining. Costumes scenery acting all aces. History in a nutshell- just fabulous.

If you like this series don't hesitate. I have owned this since they were released on BD. I imported from Amazon.Uk. I am not disappointed with my purchase, though I did get them individually.
