Ankit KantelaI had been thinking for quite some time about introducing a show for you that falls into the ‘adult’ category. If you enjoy adult-oriented series, then The Tudors (2007) might be the perfect choice, as it is packed with adult content. You may have heard of the show before, but before you start watching, it is worth learning a bit about the plot and background this information could prove useful to you. Now, let’s talk about a special topic The Tudors Review: Best Historical Drama to Watch.
I can confidently say that this is a unique and fantastic show. The story might seem to start slowly, but as it progresses, you will find yourself hooked, eager to see more of the elements you enjoy and I know exactly what those are. Although the show originally premiered in 2007, it is now available to stream on Netflix with Hindi dubbing.
Story of The Tudors (2007)
As for the story, it begins in London and centers on a king who ascended the throne after marrying his brother’s wife. Things seem to be going well initially, but to drive the narrative forward, a conflict is introduced: the king is unhappy with his wife and plans to invade France. However, upon watching the show and observing his behavior, one feels he is absolutely unfit to be a king by any standard; he comes across as mentally unstable, acting more like a child. He intends to invade France to burnish his legacy, yet circumstances ultimately force him to enter into a treaty with the country instead.
That sort of thing is par for the course in this kind of story, but in this show, we encounter a woman who makes a determined effort to bring our ‘king’ under her spell. Of course, saying too much would amount to spoilers and it’s not just one girl; you’ll see multiple women but I’d prefer you watch the show yourself to see it all unfold.
It is best not to dwell too much on the plot, or else you might lose interest in the show. You might wonder given my earlier comment about it being an ‘adult’ show just how adult it actually is; well, you won’t have to wait long to find out. You will see violence, politics, and shifting dynamics, but remember, one element remains constant: sex and that is exactly what will draw everyone to watch it. Believe me, the show places immense emphasis on sex; at times, it feels as though the story has simply been tacked onto the sexual content, yet the narrative itself is actually fantastic. It wouldn’t be wrong to say that the show’s entire existence hinges on this sexual element.
Should you watch this show or not?
If you enjoy adult shows specifically genres like costume dramas, historical epics, soap operas, steamy romances, and historical dramas and appreciate a compelling storyline paired with intense adult scenes, then this show is definitely worth watching. And one important thing: since I’ve described this as an adult show, you should watch it alone; it is not meant to be consumed with family.
The show features fantastic design and a compelling storyline, complemented by excellent adult scenes; however, the real key to its success is its presentation without it, the show wouldn’t be worth watching. Believe me, the makers presented it brilliantly, which is why people still love watching this 2007 series today.
