I watched the Tudors, too, in spite of the truly laughable historical inaccuracies (including clothes, btw). It did get marginally more accurate toward the end of the series. The thing that was the most objectionable was the conflating of Henry's sisters Margaret and Mary. The Mary Tudor/Charles Brandon story is so compelling, especially considering the depth of affection Henry had for his younger sister.
And from a feminist perspective, Henry's treatment of his much loved sister (in marrying her off to France) illustrates that women were pawns in the larger dynastic and political struggles, no matter the personal cost. Another interesting dramatic element is that Mary was fond of Catherine of Aragon and in sympathy with her; it caused a breach with Henry.
