BBC Two · Masterpiece on PBS · 2015
Wolf Hall and its sequel Wolf Hall: The Mirror and the Light bring Hilary Mantel’s spellbinding trilogy to the screen, charting the ascension of Thomas Cromwell from a lowly blacksmith’s son to the infamous political “fixer” of Henry VIII.
Forced to walk the dangerous tightrope of life in Tudor court, Cromwell is caught between his desire to do what is right and his instinct to survive. All of England lies at his feet ripe for innovation and reform, but as fortune’s wheel turns the inevitable question remains: how long can anyone survive under Henry’s cruel gaze?
