yay! i didn't even know about this show but now i'm so excited! looks like you can even preview the first two episodes on the website. for a book group a bunch of us read Phillipa Gregory's book "The Other Boleyn Girl" and then most of us became addicted and began reading more in the series of time period. i never thought i'd enjoy historical fiction but these books were so filled with drama and unbelievable events that you can't help but want to read every minute of the day. and the most fascinating thing was how little of what was written was fiction, most of the drama and insanity was accurate.

if this show is anything like what we've read, it's going to be awesome. to bad we don't get showtime. darn it.

**Edited to add: Yay, we have found the Showtime hookup! The future looks bright!
