And the scenes where Henry's first three wives appear are magnificent.
And in the last episodes it is clear that he has aged a lot.
Who has not watched, I advise, aesthetic pleasure is provided.
In general, this withering of life is so well shown, you can feel it leaving right through the screen. And those poor wives...you feel the regret and pain of the king, an ordinary man, for all your sins and mistakes. Stunningly.
I am very glad that I did not stop watching after the first episode of the first season, which I did not like at all. Boleyn detained me)
At that time, if you somehow bored the king or he doubted you - run, run without looking back otherwise "Head off your shoulders!". I read books about each of them, and then decided to watch the series as well. The scenery, outfits, and fight scenes are all at a high level. Although according to the books the king was obese and not all his meetings with his lovers were beautiful (in the book he somehow sat on a pot behind a screen, and his lady talked to him, almost sticking smelling salts in her nose) I am very glad that everything was different in the series. One of the best series for me.
The series is weak.
Yes, the actors for the most part play well, the costumes and decorations are beautiful, but they are not very well shot for the level claimed by the series, panoramic and landscape scenes generally suffer a lot.
And in general, the series did not catch on, usually the viewing captures completely, but here it was interesting in places, by the third season I watched through the force, and I wanted to leave it on the background and do other things, the fourth season was more lively, noticeably stronger than the second and third.
The viewing was brightened up by two characters: Wolsey in the first season and Lady Mary in the subsequent ones, Charles Suffolk, Catherine of Aragon and Anne Boleyn at times, the rest of the characters, including the beloved King Henry, were very boring, predictable and mediocre.
+ there were rather gross historical mistakes, striking even to a history connoisseur.
This is solely my subjective opinion, which I am not trying to impose on anyone or offend, but the series disappointed me, I expected much more.
It was interesting and addictive to watch, despite the whole number of historical blemishes that everyone can see. The series is amazing, but it still didn't sink into my soul. Alas
But even I cried on this episode... The Duke of Suffolk is one of the favorite characters from the very beginning) Lady Mary and Elizabeth just have nothing. I really like that their characters become visible. Henry himself, though a peculiar man, is still a GREAT king. The youthful fuse at the beginning, and this end and his * I'm too old for all this*... In short, it's awesome. The actor played great, despite the differences in appearance with the original Henry
And meetings with wives just killed.. She was crying like I don't know who..I am very sorry for them
In general, the series is amazing, the end is worthy💕
P.S. it's a pity that he never saw how his little Elizabeth, on whom he had less hopes, ascended the throne and did so much for their country. He would be proud, I'm sure)
But despite this and other blunders, I consider "Tudors" one of the best costume series. The male actors are generally great, they fit perfectly into the characteristic roles of Henry, Suffolk, Thomas More (here is just a perfect hit), Wolsey, Cromwell, Norfolk and even Francis Valois, who occasionally appears.
I was less attracted to women. I don't know why. Of course, Anne Boleyn was the brightest star among them.
A decent ending to a decent series. And an entire era of English history.
But I agree with the comments above, the wives who came to him were worth the whole series.
Although the actor who played the main role is not my favorite, although there are many discrepancies with the real story (but it doesn't matter to me), although some episodes are really boring (but this is in any series). Still, I never regret watching it. It was worth it to see the final scene. Thank you for the series and four seasons of beauty, amazing acting, a little longing for the departed characters, tears, and final delight.
It is a pity that only one Henry 8 was shown. I would like to watch a series about the entire Tudor dynasty, starting with Henry 7 and ending with Elizabeth, and not individually. Another thing I missed was the young Catherine of Aragon. In all films and TV series, she is always shown as old. This is probably done to make Anna look more interesting against her background. Although the story of Catherine is no less interesting.
Well, I liked the series and I don't regret the time spent.
Thanks to everyone who watched this series with me.
See you in other TV series and movies!
