The Tudors

I see this show mentioned a lot in greatest show threads. How is it? Is it good masculine medieval kino or a trashy romance?

It like a mix of both. It's pretty good.

>Is it good masculine medieval kino or a trashy romance?
Neither really, had a fair number of good looking ladies though.

It's pretty good. You can also see primer Dormer getting savagely fucked in the woods.

Is it anything like the first few seasons of GoT before it all went to shit? Solid, enganging acting with most big battles off-screen?

watch Wolf Hall first, it's the most kino tv version of the Tudor story and it's only 6 episodes.

i only remember because dorner tiddy

That scene was utter kino.
>Solid, enganging acting with most big battles off-screen?
Myers and Dormer act perfectly in the first season, Cavill is also pretty good in it.
The acting overall is good.

What makes this better than Tudors? Historical accuracy? Better fight/war scenes?

>Wolf Hall
good taste

its game of thrones without the bullshit. Mostly true stuff or based on contemporary rumors so its all somewhat groudned in history. Made by the Vikings guy before vikings.

Yeah it's good, apart from having an Irish manlet play Henry VIII. Should have been Cavill who's in nearly every episode anyway.

It's a more grounded political drama

This is Henry VIII kino, and Mark Rylance is superb.

He was so hot in this show, no homo.

it doesn't have any war scenes, the show is pretty low budget and focuses mostly on politics and intrigue. it's good because of the A++ writing, directing, and acting: it's the reason Claire Foy was in the Crown show before Olivia Coleman, and Mark Rylance did a bunch of movies including with Speilburg. Theoden (Bernard Hill) has a very, very memorable role.

it's based on 2 long books that both won the highest British lit prize, so the show covers a lot of ground in 6 episodes. I know overhype is a mistake on tv but it's probably what you want, to the point that it could make the Tudors look shit..

exceptional production values and a lot of great performances, it's pretty damn accurate give or take some creative license, but mostly it's just filling in the motivations and personalities behind actual events.

For you.

In all honesty Cromwell was a weasely shit and I don't get why people are trying to rehabilitate him.

>Most gracious Prince, I cry mercy, mercy, mercy
Why was Henry VIII such a cunt?

Thomas More was also a cunt

It's crazy,. You can spot the exact moment of his midlife crisis.

He did have an accident during jousting and gained a lot of weight because he couldn't play sports that much.

GODS I WAS STRONG THEN

So the Tudors has many more episodes and covers a longer timespan, is a bit less historically accurate and is less grounded and more soapy?

That doesn't explain the medieval equivalent of a corvette in that gold armor.

I dunno most of those armours are just showpieces not really for practical use.

It's objectively kinda trash, especially in the earlier seasons, but it's still a guilty pleasure for me.

Henry Cavill was pretty bad in this show when he was trying to act angry. He made a really weird face.
