OVER DEZE AFLEVERING

Six Queens on Screen: The Tudors (Christmas Episodes)

Hang out with Kate and Cally as they celebrate the holiday season and keep up their tradition of watching Christmas films together. This time, Cally introduces Kate to the popular television show The Tudors (2007-2010), which has a rather infamous relationship with Tudor historians. The show follows the tumultuous reign of Henry VIII and features some of the most memorable depictions of our six queens ever seen on screen.

After hearing about the show for years, what are Kate's initial reactions upon seeing it for the first time? How does the show manage to depict personal and political drama for a popular audience? And how do they show the lavish Christmas celebrations at the Tudor court?
