I somehow found a link to the information about that show when it was coming to US TV, and I could only assume that they were, for some reason, trying to snag the attention of weird people like me, and make them want to watch the show (although the probability of this explanation being true is very low, I have no other ideas). I have been longing for something good to watch Jonathan Rhys-Meyers in since I watched Gormenghast with my mother (at least twice), and I guessed that this 'Tudor' show was probably not what I'd been waiting for. I'm hoping there might be some merit in August Rush, but thus far it doesn't look as though that movie will display his talents to the fullest either.

Say, do you do of anything especially good that Jonathan Rhys-Meyers is good in, besides Gormenghast? I like him, but I don't have any idea what his other good films have been. Did he ever do any more period pieces or BBC?
