what a waste of a great cast and lot of money . i love historical costume drama but i be truly appal at the soap opera level of this script . there be such great historical event take place at that time and such a mad king henry lust for an heir and willingness to plunge his country into a religious war and betrayal of his wife and intrigue of his court and black plague and etc . yet we be subject to sex and sex and and more sex every third scene . i do find the henry vs. the cardinal plot line interesting and and henry vs. his wife . but these subject be dealt with in a very heavy hand manner and with such obvious dialogue and no subtlety . part of the reason i love english drama be the usually intelligent dialogue . i felt like i be watch a soap opera like all my tudor . you know you be watch trash when the character keep jumping in bed to keep you interested . rhys meyers be probably miscast he scowl and scream and overacts throughout . sam neill and jeremy northam be good and a usual and it be a shame to see them waste on such a poor script . i would not be watch the new season .
