DemandingFemale 5 points 5 years ago. 5/5 stars.

Guy Fawkes’ name may have become infamously tied with the plot, but few know the names of the other 12 conspirators. This goes someway to fixing that. They did take a little poetic license with some of the facts but the basic history is there. Brit’s still celebrate the foiled plot every November 5th, with bonfires, burning effigies and fireworks.

Christopher Catesby Harington (Kit) is actually a direct descendant of Robert Catesby, the ringleader of the entire plot.

It’s worth a watch if you’re interested in history or historic drama.

Shame Guy Fawkes wasn’t around today with the current government the UK has.

Thanks for a coherent review. Looking forward to checking this out … somehow it slipped by me entirely.
