Finding a decent western is hard - but this one is really worth watching.
A very nice script, very good quality cast and excellent direction . . . So a seriously worthwhile watch.

The Tudors came into Britain's royal history in 1485 when Henry VII was crowned, but the backstory isn't well known.
This short series provides a really worthwhil,e and well-explained look at what happened, centring on Henry's mother, Margaret Beaufort, and her determined struggle to get him into the throne.
The format, using three 3 top-flight actors as on-camera narrators, and very well-produced dramatic re-enactments, was very engaging - I watched all 3 episodes on Sky catch-up in one session.
The language and the action in the re-enactments is rough and tough, and maybe shocking, but reflects real life in that era, when anyone else's life other than your own, was unimportant.
I enjoyed every minute. The only caveat I have is that some minor characters are a little difficult to follow- a couple of mentions and they are gone!

I came to this film expecting to dump it in the first few minutes, but it turned out to be an excellent watch, with nice characters carried through well by a young cast, and a story line that carried the film through to a slightly unexpected ending.
Overall, fun to watch with some serious twists and some nice dark humour.
