Product Description
Chronicles the life and reign of young King Henry VIII.
Amazon.com
Power, sex, delusion and tragedy were hallmarks of The Tudors: The Complete First Season, and they are all the more so in The Complete Second Season. The story of Britain's King Henry VIII (Jonathan Rhys Meyers), The Tudors is a dynamic history of a kingdom whose role on the 16th century world stage seems largely defined by Henry's narcissistic whims. Season two is very much taken up with Henry's determination to break free of papal authority in Rome and establish himself as head of England's church--all because he seeks to divorce Queen Catherine (Maria Doyle Kennedy) and marry Anne Boleyn (Natalie Dormer). Meanwhile, poor Catherine is kept locked away from court, unable to see her daughter Mary (Sarah Bolger) but refusing to relinquish her throne despite such punishment. As for Anne, she enjoys Henry's passion and commitment, but only to a point. When Henry marries her (in a union not recognized by Rome nor many British subjects) and she does not produce a male heir, his fickle attentions begin to wander, and a grand power play by Anne's father, Thomas Boleyn (Nick Dunning) begins to unravel. In time, Henry's focus shifts to soon-to-be third wife Jane Seymour (Anita Briem), whom the king sees as a symbol of his own redemption after the complications of his love life to date. Toward the end of The Complete Second Season, all the hints that Henry's lack of scruples is leading to a full-scale psychological breakdown begin to show, manifest in his many cruelties and--at the last minute--a clear sign of his notorious gluttony to come. Other stories woven into the colorful, lustful, intrigue-driven season two concern the fate of Henry's one-time mentor Sir Thomas More (Jeremy Northam), who refuses to cooperate with Henry's attempted separation from the Catholic faith and pays dearly for it. The pope himself (Peter O'Toole) turns up in sometimes near-comical responses to the king's intransigence, and the untimely fate of many interesting characters during Henry's wrathful sweep of his court proves a shocking development mid-season. All the actors are first-rate, even down to the smallest roles, and the show's spare but compelling use of nudity and sex scenes makes The Tudors powerful adult entertainment. --Tom Keogh

 Great collection August 6, 2010
Charles E. Weaver, Jr. (Biloxi, MS USA)
This is just another in the series for my collection. Look at my review on the 3rd season.
 Fabulous August 2, 2010
Thomas F. Lynch
If you are at all interested in Tudor history, get this! While it is not 100% historically accurate, it's lush presentation is highly entertaining and quite addictive!
 Dont buy July 28, 2010

We purchased this disc set and when it came in the mail we opened it up and it had two disc 2's and no disc 1. So we reported it to Amazon, got it returned, and then exchanged (very quickly and effeciently I might add). Got the second order in the the mail and it too had only two disc 2's and no disc 1. I was very dissapointed that they would come that way and that it obviously was not a mishap the first time. So I had to end up returning the second order and ordering it through another distributer.
I love Amazon and will still shop here, dont get me wrong. But it is sad that I cannot get a hold of someone from Amazon to inform them of the defect of this particular disc set.
Owell hope everyone reads my review.
The Tudors 2nd season July 26, 2010
Cyberqueen (Anaheim, Ca)
Now we are back with Henry in season 2 and he is still up to his old tricks. This video protrayed the drama and trechery of man in the 1500's. What colors and pagentry, The dresses in the dance scenes alone must have cost a small fortune to re-create. People in court sure had a tenuous life. Here today and gone tomorrow. Get your popcorn and settle in for a great ride. Can't wait to get season 3.
