Yes, I realize that they are trying to reach as wide an audience as possible, but is dumbing-down the way to do it? Should we not expect people to rise above, not stoop below? 686978@blogcritics.org Fri, 11 Jan 2008 10:44:35 EST http://blogcritics.org/archives/2008/01/09/194358.php#comment-686866 We enjoyed the Tudors last year on Showtime (although Rhys Meyers is more than a bit over the top for me--preferred Thomas More--Jeremy Northam's quieter styl of action) but my dear friend the English History prof thought it a bit historically inacurate. But nonetheless much fun to watch. Looking forward the forthcoming series. 686866@blogcritics.org Thu, 10 Jan 2008 18:34:27 EST http://blogcritics.org/archives/2008/01/09/194358.php#comment-686715 It's a lot of fun. Rhys-Meyers is excellent and his character is unpredictable and dangerous -very watchable. 686715@blogcritics.org Thu, 10 Jan 2008 04:36:57 EST
