Well, Henry was quite good looking and fit until he was injured. He was running past obese before he married Jane Seymour, if not earlier. Katherine Howard got the worst of it, I think.

I watched it online, since I don't have cable. I have mixed feelings about it. On the surface it was a mildly entertaining Renaissance soap opera with shiny costumes. As a historian, it made my ears bleed. But Jeremy Northam made it so worth it. Maria Doyle Kennedy is also wonderful. If it weren't for them, I wouldn't have been able to watch the whole thing. Season 2 stars in April.
