1. I found the only thing good about the show was looking at young Henry.
I wish they would do a show about his daughter Elizabeth the I.

3. An awful series- so many innaccuracies and over the top emo. acting.
So bad a web site was devoted to exposing the mistakes.

The series, Masterpiece Theater's "The Six Wives of Henry the Eighth", was done better in the 70's with a much lower budget.

5. I've seen many of the more realistic accounts of Tudor England and
Henry V111 and yes, this wasn't an accurate piece by any means ..... I enjoyed it though as an action series, it was just really colourful and interesting. Something different I guess.

6. But Masterpiece Theater's version does not have Henry Cavill.
Henry's important to the proceedings...

:woohoo:

7. It's not meant to be history.
It's entertainment loosely based on history. Just sit back and enjoy the show.

Possible spoiler below...























Short spoiler version of series:
Divorced, beheaded, died. Divorced, beheaded, survived.
