him but plenty of enemies among

his prosecutors.

This series is the direct

sequel to WOLF HALL (those 6 episodes

aired 10 years ago) utilizing

principal actors: Mark Ryland,

Damian Lewis, Jonathan Pryce,

Claire Foy.  10* [my IMDb rating]

All told, the 12 episodes are based

on Hilary Mantel's trilogy: Wolf Hall;

Bring Out the Bodies; and The Mirror

the TV screenplay adaptations before

her death at age 70 on 22 Sept. 2022.

I RATE IT a 10* out of 10
