Jamie and I have been watching this on NetFlix and are really enjoying it. Did anyone else watch this when it was originally aired?

Yeah i saw a few episodes of this but being a history fan i kind of got a bit annoyed with the liberties being taken with the timeline etc. Saying that it is a very good programme and of course good to see Henry Cavill and Sam Neil on screen (Joss Stone though??)

Yes...but it does have boobies... ;)

Not being as knowledgeable regarding this time in Englands history certainly help in our enjoyment. :)

Amazing how astonishingly good looking Brits were back then as well. :)

I'll have to check this out.  Although I am a history buff, and pretty well acquainted with that period.  But the eye-candy can put me in a forgiving mood....   ;)

Then you my friend are in for a treat! The art direction is very good, costuming, ect. They spent some $ there for sure and the actors are solid.

...did I mention the boobies?

We are deep into Season 2. In all seriousness I think the production values are terrific.

Fran and I are almost all caught up with Dexter. We've picked up Californication with David Duchovny but I've been meaning to give the Tudors a look as well. Might be something to put next on the list.
