Favorite character:Thomas More and Catherine of Aragon second: Anne Boleyn | Lesson learned: A king is not a king when he is dominated by lust rather then reason. We are all human and even saintly men like 'st.' Thomas More have their dark and dangerous black side. We all do what we can, there is no villains or heroes but humans who were manipulated by extreme reason of lust, money or power or ambition to take somebody else's crown, wealth or position. Even Catherine is not an exemption to this, like Anne and Henry cardinal she believes her will to be ultimate and right.
Reason to watch: There is no villains or heroes here, if you want a villain here then the only one might be Henry and even he is portrayed here as a person with conflicts both inner and outer, here all are not exempt from good and bad dark qualities. Enjoy it, show superb, acting ok, no! even better then ok, nice, and very exalted in all. You truly believe they are who they are.
I'm fixated on: Thomas More, the actor is so handsome! Charles Brandon Duke of Norfolk. |

| Username: angelosdaughter
Favorite character(s): Katharine of Aragon, John Fisher, Thomas More | Lesson learned: Some things are worth standing up for even if the price is your life
Reason to watch: Seeing the besieged Katharine of Aragon defy Henry, John Fisher follow his conscience, and Thomas More wrestle with his. In the end his conscience triumphs.
I'm fixated on: What an incredibly tyrannical megalomaniac Henry was. He didn't just mistreat his wives, but also his daughters, and Elizabeth at least, was not defying him.She was guilty of nothing more than being her mother's daughter, and becoming an inconvenience once her mother was disposed of. I can't imagine what any woman would find attractive unless she was in love with power, and even as his queen, every one of his wives was at the mercy of his whims and his insane quest for a male heir. He was no bargain and it is well to remember that the real Henry looked nothing like Jonathan Rhys Myers. |

Favorite character: | Lesson learned:
Reason to watch: Starting from the outside in, the clothes are amazing and sometimes I rewatch the show just to check out the clothes and jewelry. Then there's the directing and locations which make history come to life in a sweeping, epic, dramatic style. There's the amazing cast which sometimes only looks good but often brings fire and ice to their characters, Finally, it's one of the most fascinating,thrilling,enticing,horrific stories in English history. You've read about them, you've heard about them, and now they come to life before your very eyes.....the Tudors and the court of Henry the VIII. History coming to life....what could be better than that!

Reason to watch: Henry Cavill, of course. He's a brilliant actor and his character Charles Brandon has some of the funniest lines in the show. Plus, he's not that hard on the eyes...
I'm fixated on: The fact that Charles Brandon married Mary Tudor and not Margaret Tudor. Mary lived much longer... yes, you can tell that I'm a Henry Cavill fan, but still... I'm fixated on Charles Brandon's relationship with the king and also with his future spouse. |

Favorite character: Charles Brandon | Lesson learned: When the sun went down so did the Tudors.
Reason to watch: Henry Cavill...he's gorgeous and a great actor and he has some great lines. Also the fact that my favorite part of history is the Tudor reign. Lastly, because of the characters Mark Smeaton and Thomas Wyatt. They're pretty lovable and funny.

| Username: LNor19
Favorite character: Sir Thomas More, Katherine of Aragon, Mary Tudor I, Jane Seymour | Lesson learned: What goes around comes around, be weary of Karma.
Reason to watch: Jeremy Northam as Sir Thomas More, his acting is spot on and portrays More very passionately. Also, the show in general is just a guilty pleasure and great to talk about. Or you can sound smart with your friends if you are a Tudor buff and say "What really happened..."
I'm fixated on: Despite that I know what happens, I can't wait for each episode and how the actors portray Historical figures. |

Favorite character: All of them | Lesson learned: Passions and Power make a dangerous mix
Reason to watch: After seeing a couple of photos from the show, I thought I wouldn't like it: too many historical inaccuracies, starting with the fact that Henry VIII is not even portrayed with his trademark red hair. However, Once I started watching, I got hooked:despite the regrettable inaccuracies, the characterisation is amazing and the actors carry their roles so well. JRM is an excellent Henry (I still want to see him with red hair) and Natalie Dormer is superb as Anne Boleyn. The rest of the cast are just fabulous: Peter O'Toole, Sam Neil, Jeremy Northam, Henry Cavill, etc, they're all brilliant!This is the sort of show that will spark an interest in those who considered History boring when they were at school. It's got the human depth, the drama, the glam, the rhythm to get you hooked on Tudor history.
I'm fixated on:The character's complexities. |

Reason to watch: Jonathan Rhys Meyer's Charm, Jeremey Northam's way of bringing Thomas More's Spirit to life, The way i thought Maria Doyle Kennedy was actually Spanish when she was really Irish and of course Natalie Dormer's Charisma on the show.
