i watch the first episode on on demand last night and i have to say that i be not impress at all . first off jonathan rhys meyers be seriously miscast a henry the 8th . i have see him do a good job before in other role so i know that he be not a bad actor and however i just couldn not buy him be the king . henry the 8th be over six foot tall and have red hair and both of which meyers be not . physically he be nothing like the historical persona and so i do not feel like i be inside the program . i felt like i be watch from the outside and that make it seem very unrealistic . secondly and there be too many pretty people cast in it . it just seem too hollywood and artificial look wise . if they have cast people who do not have breast implant then maybe that aspect would have work . finally and the script be totally off . the dialogue seem dead and no amount of good acting could save it . avoid watch this series and because it really isn not that good . i give it two star because i felt generous . if anybody say that it be like rome they be lie .
