BLOOD, SEX & ROYALTY
IS STREAMING ON NETFLIX
I know we have had tons of shows done on Tudors and especially Henry VIII, but can we really resist a new one when it is (often deliciously nekkid) Tom Parker wearing the crown in it? BLOOD, SEX & ROYALTY a new historical documentary with live action scenes is already available for streaming over at Netflix as of November 23rd! The three episode programme brings a modern take on the British royal drama! This steamy series offers a window into the lives of history's deadliest, sexiest and most iconic monarchs, in this season it is Henry VIII played by the super hunky Tom Parker with Amy James Kelly as Anne Boleyn.
WHAT IS THE SHOW ABOUT?
WHO IS IN THE ROYAL CAST?
Max Parker stars Henry VIII, the king of England, still married to his first wife, Catherine of Aragon, at the start of the series.

Never a fan of any royal family...the dresses are really elegant and beautiful though.
ReplyDeleteTwas a lush period filled with velvet and rich colours.
DeleteI don't have Netflix but there has been something of a surfeit of Tudor shows recently. That said, I haven't seen this of course so won't judge in advance.
ReplyDeleteSometimes it seems it is the only English period they shoot shows and films about. We also have Firebrand Henry VIII movie coming up with Jude Law and Malicia Vikander.
DeleteThey look good, but I'm tired of Harry and Annie (Bad enough Harry and Meg) There are other great Tudors to focus on. Moreover, I'm not big on docudramas. I couldn't finish the Ottoman series in Netflix
ReplyDeleteOttoman series is filled with lies and fabrications, I afraid to see how we are depicted in the second season which arrives soon. It is very dangerous when they use world platforms to twist truths.
DeleteI would like to watch it but I have already seen many series about that period. Nice shots! Have a great weekend!
ReplyDeleteIt is just three episodes, though.
DeleteI'm so over Henry VIII. I don't know how many times that story can be replayed. I feel like it's on the Disney loop of rehashing the same old, same old over and over again.
ReplyDeleteI downloaded it as I will watch anything with Tom Parker, like anything! And he is shirtless in it, did I tell you he is shirtless in it???
DeleteWell, that definitely ups the interest. How can we resist a shirtless Tom Parker?
DeleteI do not want to resist him.
DeleteInteresting take on Henry VIII. I can honestly say that I've NEVER thought of him as sexy as I've read about him. Leave it to modern writers to find a new take.
ReplyDeleteAs far as I know he was very athletic and thus attractive to women, but became ugly later on after the knee injury and getting fat.
DeleteRoyalty. Enough said.
ReplyDeleteHello, Dez!
Hello? I thought you'd at least bow!
DeleteI may let them kneel.
DeleteGwendie must have taught you that loooool
DeleteI always like Films or documentaries about the royal family. Costumes look perfect.
ReplyDeleteIt looks very nice.
