      Yeah, "The Tudors" got some things wrong (such as his sister marrying the king of Portugal when in fact she married the king of Scotland), but the overall plot line is fairly accurate. But it should have been titled "Henry VIII" since it was all about him.

    100% agree with you on your picks! One thing I noticed, none of them were DEI, woke or having actors smoking and drinking bottles of beer with labels pointed at the camera. No black kings and queens, no angry black bosses yelling at white cringing underlings, just excellent shows, the Golden Age of Historical dramas. After Gladiator 2 put the death knell.period on all historical dramas, I tend to stay away from them now, except Shogun.
