He was amazing. "The Six Wives" also got me intrigued with the Tudor period. To me, the historical reality is way more interesting than the modern "interpretations" in which they ramp up the sex for ratings appeal and don't give a damn about facts. (And when I say "ramp up the sex," I don't mean just showing the actual sexual intrigues that took place--of which of course there were many--I mean the behaviors and attitudes toward them get modernized in a way unfaithful to the period, so it feels more like you're watching Sex and the City in corsets and codpieces than actual Tudor England. The heaving-bosom, bodice-ripping version of history, if you will.)
