I saw one episode when it was on the 101, (yes I am a cheapie) I thought it was good, not great.

We caught almost all the episodes last year, and will probably tune in when it returns. I would agree, good but not great. A lot of emphasis on Henry and Anne Bolyn (sp?) and very much present day sensibilities. Don't think it's something you'd watch over and over.

I really wanted to see this too and have been thinking about buying the first season...

It's incredibly silly but I enjoyed it and watched it every week.

Have watched most of the 1st season... and some of it is a bit ridiculous but all in all, it's pretty good. Anyone watch or watching the second season or know when it's going to be out on DVD?

Don't know about the US but in the UK it is only half way through the second season now. It's still full of gratuitous sex scenes but the story is pretty gripping (even when you know how it will all end). Jeremy Northam as Sir Thomas More has been a highlight and Peter O'Toole as the pope is hilarious.

I watched one epi, my daughter and husband didn't want to watch more so we dropped the show.
