That is a HUGE stretch of a description for the show ... but I imagine that
is all part of the marketing machine trying to attract viewers overseas if
they like those kinds of shows. But trust me, they do not have those
similarities. Desperate Housewives has actual friendships and Sopranos have
more that two murders. ;)

Subject: [h-cost] The Tudors on the BBC
Taken from the Daily Mail this morning:-
"The show has been a hit in the U.S. and the BBC has just snapped up the
UK broadcast rights. I'm told "The Tudors" is done in the style of The
Sopranos mixed with Desperate Housewives. Obviously, historical accuracy
is being stretched somewhat because Ms. Dormer (Anne Boleyn) rejoins Rhys
Meyers and others for the second series.
Maybe the American screenwriters know more about our country's history
than we do, and Anne gets to keep her head!!"
