Ah, television.For far too many years, the bastard red-headed step-sibling of motion pictures, television, in my humble opinion, currently has the edge for satisfying entertainment. With current shows like Heroes, Battlestar Galactica, 24, Lost, the Office and Entourage as my current "must-sees", I'm actually pretty interested in the new Showtime Original Series, The Tudors, which is focusing on the early years of King Henry VIII. Despite it having a foothold in historical context, it comes across as a "reinvention", much like Batman Begins and Casino Royale. The untold life of Henry VIII is a story definitely worth telling and features among it's talented cast Jonathan Rhys Meyers (MI:3, Elvis), Sam Neill (Jurassic Park), Gabrielle Anwar (Body Snatchers) , Jeremy Northam (Gosford Park), Henry Cavill (upcoming Neil Gaiman's Stardust), Callum Blue (Showtime's Dead Like Me).
The show premieres on Sunday, April 1st with plenty of sex, scandal and intrigue, and Showtime has generously given the FOG! readers an opportunity to preview the first two episodes here
The password to access the episodes is "King".
Enjoy!
