goodness and after my several dreadful hour with hbo rome and i think turn to the tudor would be a smart choice for historical drama . except this be even bad . within 10 minute of season 1 and episode 1 and i can name countless thing that be wrong with the show . the script be intolerably pretentious while the background music come at inopportune time with a laughable ambition of it own to be more exciting than the show actually be while the elite character have face that be more suitable for runway than for drama ( lady blount and charles brandon ) . the producer simply put a crew of upper east side ish and plain horrible actor in old english costume . as much a i like jrm good look and he simply lack the appropriate charisma for the role and and let face it he and the other character be way too skinny for the show to look the slight historically accurate . again and typical hype up and pathetic and american crap .
