Wolf Hall

A 98% RT score from 53 critics is near-unanimous: Mark Rylance's Cromwell is a performance for the ages, internalising power rather than performing it, and Peter Kosminsky's direction treats Tudor intrigue as genuine moral horror.

Three Card Trick2015-01-21

The premiere establishes Cromwell's world obliquely - we enter through Cardinal Wolsey's fall rather than Cromwell's rise, and the show's distinctive grammar of silences and sidelong looks is immediately apparent. Rylance says very little; everything is communicated in the gap between what is said and what is decided. Damian Lewis as Henry VIII arrives like weather rather than like a king.

The Devil's Spit2015-02-11

The episode serves as the season's pivot, with the political situation crystallising into something genuinely dangerous and Cromwell's manoeuvrings gaining moral weight he cannot put down. Foy's Boleyn in this episode is the show at its most tightly coiled.
