The paradox of "The Tudors" is that it takes on one of the most powerful and protested institutions in human history and provides little sense of what the English people have to gain or lose by breaking with it.

The sexy, sudsy historical drama returns without missing a beat.

Henry and Anne nag and harp and tongue each other. It's like asking us to root for a particularly vapid reality TV couple.

It's not quite as randy - it's become less of a soap and more of a historical drama. This is not to say it's not great.

It's just a crime that Showtime couldn't do better with the material than the thinly written eye candy it came up with.

The acting, led by Rhys Meyers, is solid. The costumes and production are good and the dialogue is smooth.

Equally entertaining second season

Mixing equal parts court intrigue with Calvin Klein ad, the series falls short of greatness.
March 30, 2008
The main problem with this historical epic is that the performances of Rhys Meyers and of Natalie Dormer, who plays the king's controversial consort, Anne Boleyn, are flat, predictable and uninspired.

This pretty bit of history will remain utterly forgettable.
