The birth of a prince comes at a terrible price and Cromwell must help the king get through it.
Matt Roush says...
Happy endings are pretty much unheard of in the court of Henry VIII (Damian Lewis), and so it is as this enthralling adaptation of Hilary Mantel’s historical novels ends with master manipulator Thomas Cromwell (the sorrowful Mark Rylance) now seeing life from inside the Tower of London, where he’s had so many of his enemies imprisoned. With his days numbered, it’s a bitterly ironic twist for the monarch’s chief counselor, who loses favor, is branded a traitor and awaits the executioner’s axe while the king takes yet another new bride, the equally ill-fated Catherine Howard (Summer Richards). “History is against her,” Crowell observes, to which his nemesis Stephen Gardiner (Alex Jennings) replies, “I fear it’s against us all.” True words.
