If we are to believe Showtime, Henry VIII was hot and he had a lot of sex, so that's what you're getting with The Tudors, a lavish drama set during Henry's reign. There is a plot around all of the snogging, and they actually stick to the larger historical events pretty faithfully, but this is glamorous drama at its best. It stars Natalie Dormer as Anne Boleyn before she hit the big time, too.
