I'm watching this as well... Since discovering an ancestor who was imprisoned and tortured for being a Catholic during Elizabeth I, I've completely devoted myself to learning the history of the Tudor era that I did not learn in school. What I did not know anything about was the violent history of the borderlands and how that played out during Henry VIII.

As for the series, it's certainly better than "The Tudors" series on Showtime. But after watching the"Outlander" series on Starz (about the Jacobites), I find myself critiquing the costuming on Wolf Hall. I can't help it and it's getting in the way of my enjoyment of the series. Henry looks ludicrous parading around in his grandmothers bed quilt. When you compare that with the beautiful fabrics, gorgeous settings and accuracy in detail they've created in Outlander, Wolf Hall falls pretty flat.

He really is the strutting peacock, isn't he?

I haven't seen the Outlander series, but based on your recommendations, I will look it up.
