Johnathan Rhys Meyers is a brilliant actor and he played the role of King Henry the 8th to perfection he was King Henry the 8th in this series. I am rewatching it for the 3rd time and I love it it is the best series I have watched. History, drama, sex, romance, thrill all captured in one show. Natalie Dormer was phenomenal as Anne Boleyn, to be honest everyone played their role so perfectly. The show made me want to live in that time to experience that time.
