The Return of the Tudors

My favorite series on Showtime is returning to the air tonight. Season 2 of the critically-acclaimed fictional adaptation of everyone's favorite dysfunctional British royal family is kicking off it's newest season on the Showtime network this Sunday. For those of you not familiar with the show, the Tudors is basically based off England's infamous royal house of Tudor (which brought forth the likes of King Henry the VIII and Queen Elizabeth the I). The show takes place during the early period of the Tudor dynasty, and weaves a fictitious yet quite enthralling tale surrounding the exploits of a young King Henry VIII.

Returning of course are King Henry the VIII (played by Jonathan Rhys Meyers), Anne Boelyn (Natalie Dormer), Catherine of Aragon (Maria Doyle Kennedy my favorite actress in the series), and of course Charles Brandon, played by freakishly sexy guycandy Henry Cavill...

I have to admit, if I were a fish, I'd be dangling off a hook right now on account of Henry Cavill and Jonathan Rhys Meyers. These two guys (and especially Henry) were the perfect eyecandy combination that worked as bait, initially luring me into what turned out to be a fantastic series... one that I'd otherwise might have totally ignored...

Be sure to check out Season 2 of the Tudors when it airs tonight on Showtime... and as usual for those of you who can't catch these episodes when they air, there's always the torrents option. Also, the Season 1 DVD or the Netflix renting option is on available for those of you interested in catching up.
