The Tudors fits the list of historically accurate period dramas due to its detailed portrayal of the reign of King Henry VIII (Jonathan Rhys Meyers). While the series undoubtedly uses creative liberties for dramatic effect, it does get the major events and personalities of the Tudor court correct. The show delves into Henry's relationships, politics, and the significant historical events of his reign, such as the formation of the Church of England. The production is noted for its elaborate costumes, set designs, and attention to period-specific details, which provide an immersive experience of 16th-century England.
