The Tudors (2007)
[After 2 episodes...] By HBO standards, it has very weak CGI and the design is terribly artificial, thus somewhat spoiling the impression of the costumes and accessories. The characters are excellent, they are neither black nor white, and Buckingham's duel with Henry was excellent, having the viewer's sympathies nicely on both sides. The figure of Bishop Wolsey is just as jagged. I enjoy watching the relatively unpretentious conversational slowness - one repeats the realities of history nicely and at the same time one has to inadvertently appreciate the creators' bet on contemporary, but non-pathetic faces. I will definitely try to watch the rest of the episodes.
