Trailer
Synopsis: Last season, Henry VII was introduced as power-hungry, angry young man who was all about the pleasures of life when Anne Boleyn bewitches him into wanting a divorce from his queen,which the Roman Catholic church does not condone. This season, he breaks from the Church and starting the Church of England while making Anne his queen so she can produce him a male heir.
My Take: There are a lot of liberties taken with history, but Jonathan Rhys Meyers and Natalie Dormer have tons of sexy chemistry together. It also features all the usual fabulous outfits and epic intrigues of sex, power, ambition and betrayal.
