　　Showtime出品的历史剧“都铎王朝”，与其说是一个显赫王朝的兴衰史，不如说是一个偏执狂和杀妻狂的罗曼史。
　　《时代周刊》曾刊文道：“如果16世纪有八卦小报，亨利八世一定是每期的封面人物。”的确，这位才华横溢且私欲膨胀的英国国王，一生娶了六个妻子，在历史上曾留下无数瞩目的争议。
　　在前两季中，由于王后凯瑟琳只诞下了一个女儿玛丽，苦无子嗣继位的亨利八世对她不再宠幸，转而爱上女侍官安-博林。工于心计的安不甘做国王的情人，于是，就罢黜凯瑟琳和认可安的身份，亨利八世与罗马教廷展开了长达十年的对抗。最终更不惜宣布脱离罗马教廷，自封为英国教会的最高领袖。然而，安只生下了一个女儿伊丽莎白，亨利八世很快又移情别恋，以通奸罪名将安送上断头台。
　　在第三季中，剧情的焦点仍是亨利八世的爱情故事，他将先后迎娶被他称为“此生真爱”的侍女简-西摩，克里维斯的安妮以及凯瑟琳-霍华德。
　　与此同时，王室的宗教政策在民间引发了著名的“求恩巡礼”事件，亨利八世下令对其进行血腥镇压。
　　从首播开始，剧中便有着无数的缠绵悱恻的香艳镜头，以及尔虞我诈的宫廷勾斗，但据说超过85%的剧情源于史书记载，证明历史老人撰下的剧本，并不逊于任何好莱坞编剧。剧情为观众还原历史的同时，镜头下优美的爱尔兰田园风光，以及华丽的宫廷布景、服饰，亦是本片的看点之一。

　　《蝴蝶的眼泪》根据真实故事改编，讲述了1960年11月25日，被独裁者拉斐尔·莱昂尼达斯·特鲁希略下令谋杀的多米尼加律师兼活动家密诺瓦·米拉波和她的活动家姐妹帕提娅和玛丽亚·特蕾莎的人生。故事重现了这一悲惨日子前后的细节，促使联合国将11月25日定为消除对妇女暴力行为国际日，因为这起谋杀案再次痛苦地提醒人们，基于性别的暴力在世界各地普遍存在。

　　公元前52年，罗马共和国建立400年后，罗马已经成为世界上最富有的城市，是拥有100万人口的世界性大都市，也是雏形中的帝国的中心。罗马共和国是建立在分享权利和激烈的个人竞争的基础上的，从来不允许搞个人独裁。但这些共和国的原则基石正在腐败的弥漫和道德的沦丧下逐渐崩溃。统治阶级穷奢极欲、挥霍无度，传统的斯巴达人的戒律和团结已经荡然无存。

　　Morse is taken seriously ill at a museum reception and is hospitalized. In the hospital, Supt. Strange, visits Morse to push him to take early retirement, while Dr. Millicent 'Millie' Van Buren gives him her book on a 140 year-old court case known as the Oxford Canal Murders. The case involved the murder and rape of a young woman, Mrs Joanna Franks, traveling by canal boat from Coventry to London. The case resulted in three boatmen being sentenced to death and two of them hanged. Morse starts to read Millie's book and dreams about it. He soon has a number of problems with the case.
　　Why weren't the three men also charged with theft? Why did Mrs Franks take a boat instead of a train that was much faster and comfortable and only slightly more expensive? Why didn't she abandon the boat after she complained about lewd behavior of the crew at the shipping office in Banbury? Why did she then drink and 'socialise' with the crew? What happened to her 'carpet bag' with which she arrived on the boat but which was not mentioned in the court case, nor was it stored in the archives with her, almost empty, trunk? The trunk was marked with initials of her first husband who had died. How did it happen that her shoes were found on the boat but nobody saw her return to the boat from the forest?
　　PC Adrian Kershaw does some brilliant leg work for Morse. He studied history and has invaluable background knowledge. For instance, he mentions that the boatmen had bad reputation because they worked on Sundays and did not attend church. Later a chapel was built for them in Oxford.
　　The dead woman's clothes and the shoes found on the boat are submitted to modern forensic investigation. The result is that the shoes did not belong to the dead woman found in the water because she was much taller.The shoes were never used in the forest.
　　Only Mrs Franks' husband, Charles Franks, was called to identify the body of the dead woman. He claimed that, while her face was darkened and disfigured, he found a birth mark behind her ear. The prosecutor welcomed that information "that only a husband or a lover would know". The accused were not shown the body. The defense attorney merely claimed that the guilt of the three men was not proved. All three accused claimed to the end that they were innocent. One of them was not executed because he embraced Christianity in prison.
　　Morse instructs Kershaw to investigate if Charles Franks benefited from his wife's death and, indeed, he pocketed 300 pounds insurance money. Case closed: Charles Franks murdered a tall women and dropped her in the canal after meeting Joanna in the forest. If Joanna Franks jumped off the boat at the same time as the dead body hit the water, she swam to the bank and joined her husband. The couple changed their names, in the case of 'Charles Franks' a second time after he 'died' as Joanna's first husband. The fourth boatman, a youngster who was not charged, was probably paid by Joanna to give false testimony.
　　Morse travels to Ireland and has a grave of Joanna's first husband exhumed. The coffin contains bags of sand and some stones.
