AA Gill wrote a review a few weeks ago in The Sunday Times:

(his comments on The Tudors start about a third of the way into the article).

Not sure if he coined the term 'chick-hist' himself, though...

I was dying to see this series, watched the first episode and quit watching. I'm thinking I need to rent season one and two so I can see what everyone is talking about I just thought it was oring and too sexual on that first show....so I'm going to give it another go, is there going to be another season you think?

The rather graphic sex that was shown in the first couple of episodes doesn't appear in every one, and by season two, I thought it was pretty tame for the most part (with a couple of exceptions). There is going to be a third season (I think they are filming it now).

Lol! I actually wish that we could still dress like that.. jeans are so boring :p The costumes look quite Elizabethan to me, especially the men's.

You'll love it - if you don't take it too seriously and just enjoy it for the mad costumes, the impossibly handsome Cranmer and Anne Boleyn's suspiciously botox enhanced features you'll find it good fun. There are a few weepy bits in there as well though. All in all it's completely addictive :D

if I remember right our Blockbuster has four copies of season one so I'll look into renting it first maybe buy later if it is any good
