The year is 1536. Matthew Shardlake, a brilliant lawyer with an acute sense of justice, finds his life turned upside down when Thomas Cromwell, Henry Vlll's right-hand man, sends him to the remote monastery of Scarnsea to investigate a murder, and to ultimately claim its wealth for the King. Accompanied by the arrogant and ambitious Jack Barak, it becomes clear that the death they are investigating is not the first. Facing hostility and suspicion at every turn and unsure of Barak's true intentions, Shardlake is drawn into a web of lies, deceit and corruption that threatens not only his integrity but his life. |

If you like Sean Bean and his Game of Throne character, you might like this drama too. And no release date yet. The official synopsis from Disney reads: “Shardlake’s sheltered life as a lawyer is turned upside down when Cromwell instructs him to investigate the murder of one of his commissioners at a monastery in the remote town of Scarnsea. The commissioner was gathering evidence to close the monastery and it is now imperative for Cromwell’s own political survival that Shardlake both solves the murder and closes the monastery. He leaves Shardlake in no doubt that failure is not an option. Cromwell insists that he is accompanied by Barak to Scarnsea, where the duo are met with hostility, suspicion, and paranoia by the monks who fear for their future and will seemingly stop at nothing to preserve their order.” The four-part drama, based on the first novel from author C.J. Sansom’s best-selling book series.
Very cool.
Anthony Boyle will also be in this drama, and he has been busy! I’ve enjoyed watching him in Masters of the Air. Anthony Boyle was also in the mini-series Manhunt and his character was John Boothe. This new drama starts tomorrow!
