Linda Stasi

Season 3 Review: The Tudors, Showtime's all-of-the-above series, comes roaring back Sunday night as fresh as its first season. Read full review

Mark A. Perigard

Season 4 Review: It’s a shame “The Tudors” is coming to a close. As Hirst has noted, there are generations of stories yet to tell. Count on this series to end on a royally good note Read full review

Robert Abele

Season 1 Review: With everyone's motivations in this handsomely mounted but adrenaline-fueled series so on-the-surface, Dormer's enigmatic, time-halting loveliness [as Anne Boleyn] is a boon for The Tudors, and damn near worth losing your head over. Read full review

Nancy DeWolf Smith

Season 1 Review: Good fun, and not as bastardized as its advertising campaign suggests. Read full review

David Hinckley

Season 4 Review: At times, the opening night of season four gets almost that silly, though at other times it returns to its strongest suit, which is illustrating 1) the coexistence of powerful, conflicting forces inside the same person, and 2) the idea that absolute power corrupts.

Heather Havrilesky

Season 1 Review: "The Tudors" takes all of the intrigue and power struggles and tomfoolery of the House of Tudor and gives it six-pack abs and a rock-star swagger Read full review

Troy Patterson

Season 1 Review: One hesitates to say that [Rhys Meyers] phones his performance in. It's more like he dictates it to an assistant who then submits it via fax. You too might lack an appropriate sense of conviction if delivered this script. Read full review
