Trivia:
The character of Princess Margaret, Henry's sister, is actually a composite of two sisters, his older sister Margaret Tudor and his younger sister Mary Tudor. While the events in the series come from Mary's life, the substitution of Margaret's name helps to avoid confusion with Henry's daughter with Catherine of Aragon, also named Mary. more
Goofs:
Factual errors: Cardinal Wolsey was not imprisoned and did not commit suicide. After being accused of treason, he set out for London to answer the charges and died en route in Leicester. Wolsey's death came in 1530, three years before the death of Henry's sister Mary; in the series, the two events are juxtaposed. more
Quotes:
Queen Katherine: Sometimes I think the king will ask me for a divorce...
Charles V: A divorce? No. That is impossible.
Queen Katherine: [quietly] Is it?

I am skeptical when it comes to original programming on premium television. HBO seems to hit the mark quite often, leaving other premiums in the dust. However, Showtime has issued a return to HBO in the form of 'The Tudors.' Set in renaissance Britain during the reign of Henry VIII, we are introduced to the young and ill-tempered king, as well as his Spanish Queen Catherine, his friends and ministers Sir Thomas Moore and Cardinal Wolsey, and a host of would-be mistresses and wives. The first two episodes (which I have previewed) lay the foundation for what is sure to become a fantastic television series.

King Henry is portrayed with such energy and passion, one simultaneously loves and hates him. The women of his life are so wonderfully cast, Maria Doyle Kennedy (Queen Catherine) and Natalie Dormer (Anne Boleyn) in particular. The cast is so diverse and compelling, the sets and costumes rich and lively, that 'The Tudors' are surely going to become a household name outside of Europe.

In the spirit of competition, someone needs to challenge HBO's programming supremacy, and I honestly believe that Showtime may have finally done it.

And done it well.
