How To Trade In Pokemondeluge

The Tudors and Robin Hood

will point the finger at two "new" show of Mediaset. In fact both are already started qualke week, but until now I had eyes only for the third series of the Criminal Mind, unfortunately over. I just have to wait for the beginning of the fourth series, though in America will start in September, then we who knows when!
'nuff said ...
The first serial of which I speak is The Tudors - Scandals court.

This is a dramatic television series / Historical created and entirely written by Michael Hirst. The series, key in the novel, the early reign of Henry VIII (played by Jonathan Rhys Irish Meyers), re d'Inghilterra e di Irlanda fino al 1547.
La serie ha conquistato una vasta platea ed anche parte della critica.
La prima stagione è composta da 10 episodi, la seconda da altrettanti e per il 2009 sarà in onda una terza stagione.

Enrico VIII è sposato da quasi vent'anni con Caterina d'Aragona, ma non riesce ad avere figli maschi: il re preferirebbe garantire stabilità alla sua dinastia, che è al trono da tempo relativamente breve. Le scappatelle del sovrano non sono rare, ed una delle sue amanti, Bessie Blount, dà alla luce un figlio. A questo punto Enrico VIII inizia a pensare di aver commesso un peccato sposando la moglie del suo defunto fratello Arturo. Francis I of France, visiting England, he points to Henry lived a lady in his court until then, the girl looks like a very easy and frivolous. This is Mary Boleyn, daughter of the diplomat Thomas, who takes the ball in hopes of gaining favor with the king, to his bed. But Henry soon tired of the girl and that's when Thomas enters the scene in his other daughter, Anna.
Margaret, sister of the king, is betrothed to the elderly King of Portugal, but is in love with Charles Brandon, Duke of Suffolk, which, inter alia, the role of escort in his new country. Marries the king of Portugal, but kills him at night, relying on the promise that ripped Henry: it married with his beloved once widowed. Marry you immediately, but will not be happy.
The Pope is reluctant to give the king the annulment of his marriage. Charles V, English, catholic, is the nephew of Queen Catherine. Thomas Wolsey, Henry's minister, fell out of favor because they can not do so in order to divorce and suicide after being arrested by order of the king himself. The power of Anna seems endless.

This is the plot summary in the first series. The conditions for a good serial are all there. The story, the intrigue (those of the court that both passionate lovers of the genre in costume!), Loves (legal or illegal). In short, a soap opera of the past, but very much Current topics such as: love, power, political plots.
Very refined as a series, from the point of view of historical settings, costumes cured in every particular, the historical and political events.
Certainly a young Henry VIII so beautiful and it is difficult to associate the classic portrayals to which we are accustomed.

For people like me who loves the story (or a good story set in the past - except Rivobrosa!) This serial is enjoyable and fascinating. In addition, 10 episodes + 10 does not tire the viewer, as is the case for those infinite series (see Lost).

The other show that I would like to pin your attention is also costume: Robin Hood.

Who among us does not know this legendary English hero who stole from the rich to give to the poor, so tragically in a time critical, like England of the Crusades. From 1 July
Mediaset is proposing a new version starring the legendary hero, with a new series on the noble deeds of Robin of Locksley, returning from the Crusades, fights harassment Sheriff of Nottingham and his henchman Guy Gisborne, becoming an outlaw.
Again we are faced with a serial that has done a bang, as they say! Has enthralled audiences and critics spellbound.
Funny, moderno ed intelligente, questo Robin Hood si propone di affascinare una generazione completamente diversa da quelle catturate a suo tempo dalla versione in cartoni disneyana o da quella con protagonista il bel Kevin Kostner.
Robin Hood è una miscela unica di action, avventure esilaranti e romanticismo. Una sceneggiatura tagliente aggiorna la popolare leggenda, per la fruizione di un pubblico contemporaneo e sofisticato.
Qui Robin Hood (Jonas Armstrong) si supera in astuzia, deliziando i suoi adepti nel combattere indomitamente l'autorità del perfido Sceriffo di Nottingham. Per far questo usa, letteralmente e non, tutte le frecce al suo arco: truffe, travestimenti, trucchi, la sbalorditiva arte del tiro con l'arco e l'incredibile bravura In the duel with the sword.

The legend of Robin of Sherwood has enthralled us for centuries and will continue to thrill generations to come. No matter how many film adaptations, many feature films as well as anime (Japanese animated series) have as their protagonist this British hero. His is a myth that will never fade and this series is an illustration.
currently in Italy (Channel 4 every Tuesday at about 21:00) go on the air 13 episodes of season one. While Ingilterra in autumn will be forwarded to the third season.

What, maybe I'll be repetitive, but for history lovers or for those who love the adventures of the past two series sono da guardare assolutamente.
Un Enrico VIII e Robin Hood che ci conquisteranno con i loro amori e le loro gesta!
