the Tudors

The Tudors is a joint Irish Canadian produced historical fiction television series shown in the Western world and most notably in the United States of America on Showtime. I say that because it is rare for any program from Canada to be shown in the United States because not only is their market saturated with programs, but it is often only the most publicized shows from Canada shown in the United States. Canada has a wide market for shows from Canada but the quality is often mediocre compared to our thriving music industry. The show focuses on Henry the Eighth and his many wives of which were acquired from the reformation of the Catholic Church in England at the time, which later became the Church of England.
