Have been recording it, but haven’t watched any of the episodes yet.
You’ll like it. I do. Especially that snake, Cromwell. PLUS, Damian Lewis is Henry VIII. Lewis starred in Homeland, Showtimes absolutely terrific series.
Anyway, Masterpiece once again produces — well — a masterpiece.
I bought the books and read them before the series started. I have enjoyed both. Krauthammer is somewhat over the top in his allegiance to the Bolt fictional portrayal. Mantel makes her vision of the events quite stimulating.
The truth is in the middle of these views and unobtainable from this distance in years.The Henry in the mini-series is not so mildly outlined in Mantel’s books. There he is a lot more arbitrary and harsh — the “Majesty” that can give death at a whim, and does.
