The Tudors (TV Series).

I caught a glimpse of a bit of one episode and thought, what a load of crap!

Reading some articles about the series it was described as "loosely based on historical events".

The bit I saw had the actors going around doing their best mockney-cockney accents, and I'm convinced I heard one actor say "slaaag".

Needless to say, I won't be watching any more.

Its piss poor. I think the BBC saw an opportunity after 'Rome' TV Series and decided to chance their arm.
A Thumbs down from me.

Haven't watched it.

But from the trailers I've seen, it looks to me to be too full of pretty-boy actors to be realistic.

That's what it sounded like to me.
