BBC series about the rise of Thomas Cromwell.

Very well done program based on the first novel by Hilary Mantel. Exceptional attention to detail, and wonderful costumes. It's won a TON of awards and accolades.
It stars Mark Rylance as Cromwell, Damian Lewis as a deliciously evil Henry VIII, and Claire Foy as Anne Boleyn. Other notables are Anton Lesser (Endeavour) as More and Jonathan Pryce as Wolsey.
At times, it moves a bit slow, and Rylance's occasional staring into space gets annoying at times. But, for historical fiction, it's pretty good.
It portrays Cromwell in a pretty positive role, and More as not so nice.
Link to videoSadly, it ends with the death of Anne (the first of 3 novels) and there's no plan for more.

Thanks for nothing, George. As an Irishman, I am now obligated to throw my phone down to the ground in disgust and yell “FOKKING CROMWELL BASTARD”. If my phone breaks, it’s your fault.
