"The Tudors"

I've said before that I like Jonathan Rhys Meyers, and I'm not talking only about his mesmerizing eyes. I see him as a very talented young actor, who can embrace a wide diversity of roles. The only thing these roles have in common is the chemistry born each time not only between him and the female leader, but also between him and the audience. There's a new TV series beginning March 12 on Showtime, called "The Tudors", series that takes a different approach to the life of Henry VIII. Although his most famous portrait shows him as an overweight, not so handsome man, "The Tudors" will depict him in his youth, as "the rock star of his time" that he was. I will not be able to see it, unfortunately, until August, but it looks like a promising show that will teach us a bit more about history. That is, unless the sexual scenes will not overwhelm the script. The screenwriter is the same one who wrote the script for "Elizabeth", which I haven't had the opportunity to see just yet, it's true. It looks like a promissing show... I hope it will be more than that.
