I love the CJ Sansom books - and was waiting for this with bated breath...but as it turns out, I needn't have worried! Dipped in last night and then binged all four eps in one go. Gripping, real sense of menace throughout, and I thought the actor playing Shardlake was terrific - also nice to see a disabled role played by a disabled actor for once. Coulda done with more Sean Bean but we all know he's not gonna last long :)... I thought the look of it was really atmospheric too - certainly put me off visiting a monastery any time soon. Anyhow, it's nice to have a new murder mystery that isn't just the usual cookie cutter fare, just hope there'll be more....
