Summary
This historical drama series chronicles the reign of King Henry VIII of England, beginning with his early years on the throne and tracing his turbulent court life, political maneuvering, and the religious upheaval of the English Reformation. The series follows his pursuit of power, his complex relationships with his six wives, and the figures who rose and fell around him, including Cardinal Wolsey, Thomas More, and Thomas Cromwell.
The Tudors is a 2007 drama, history and romance television series.
Its in-cohort standing is measured against the other 1,359 2000s television series, not against the whole corpus. The calibrated figure is built from 173 reviewers whose rating history varies enough to place their own average. A broader pool of 184 reviewers with two or more reviews feeds the raw-average track instead. Rotten Tomatoes carries a separate audience for the same title, 23 of whom clear the calibration test.
How the score was built
We compare the reviewers of this title against every other title those same people reviewed. Each review is scored relative to the reviewer's own baseline — a 7/10 from a hard grader sits well above their average, while a 7/10 from a generous grader sits below theirs. Every reviewer then counts the same, so the result is a calibrated consensus rather than a raw average.
- Global percentile
- Where The Tudors lands against every title we rank.
- In-cohort percentile
- The same comparison narrowed to its cohort — titles of the same format released in the same decade. A 1970s film is judged against 1970s films, not against last year's streaming series. Ranked against TV Series · 2000s (1,360 titles).
- AI-adjusted percentile
- The same reviewer-normalized score, corrected for how much confidence the sample supports: thin samples are pulled toward the corpus average. Each title keeps the share n / (n + 53) of its measured distance from the average, where n is its calibrated-reviewer count, and the result is ranked on the same scale as the global percentile.53 is the median sample size across everything we rank. Here n is 173.
