In regards to “the Tudors are overrated, I don’t want to see more projects about them”:

Is kind of a moot point, because (especially in regards to Henry VIII) they’re so deeply embedded in the pop culture nexus at this point that they’re just, quite simply, not going anywhere. 

Henry VIII especially because he’s really, in essence, a reflection of everything we hate about ourselves (magnified to extremes): capriciousness, vanity, the desire for fame, grandiosity, the inability to forgive, ruled by emotions/highly emotional, hypocrisy, the desire to be loved, self-indulgence, and the desire to be remembered.
