Have just seen the second episode and I adore it! (My better half
has made a grievous error in deciding to give it a miss, I think.) Mark
Rylance's understated Thomas Cromwell is an acting master class which leaves you
mesmerised the entire time he is before you on the small screen. Furthermore,
the excellence of Hillary Mantel's sympathetic writing up of the misunderstood, Tudor lackey is both powerful and intriguing. (Outside of this and the sequel, I can have
little positive to say about the eccentric authoress.)
