This spring, one of our favorite shows returned to cable: The Tudors. It’s a Showtime miniseries about the life of King Henry VIII. This is the show’s third season, and at this point in the series, Henry has already gone through two wives (Catherine of Aragon and Anne Boleyn) and is starting to sour on the third (Jane Seymour). We started watching the show when Elise was pregnant with Henry (Henry’s middle name, Callum, was inspired by one of the actors in the first series, Callum Blue). It’s difficult to find the time to watch TV these days, but with cable on-demand, we can wait and watch the show when Henry is in bed and our chores are done. Jonathan Rhys Meyers plays King Henry. The show is a little bit of history with a lot of soap opera and action-adventure mixed in. Two other historical miniseries that we really enjoyed were Rome and John Adams (both HBO productions).
