“I’ve had trouble getting into The Tudors. Not sure why since I usually like historical dramas.”

Probably because of the actor that played Henry the 8th.
It took me a couple of episodes to become comfortable with him in the role and then he grew on me.

I agree. Keith Mitchell was by far the best Henry VIII I’ve ever seen played. JRM is meant to an entirely different demographic, over-sexed, under brain cell driven twenty-somethings. His Henry VIII is played as a spoiled brat who can’t govern without shouting his inferiors down. Boring actually. And this isn’t the actors fault. He’s a very talented Irish born individual who played an unforgetable role as a Confederate renegade in Ang Lee’s Ride With the Devil. But all this stated, I do enjoy The Tudors, but absolutely loved Rome.
