I feel like the only one who didn't particularly like this. Somehow managed to make an interesting period in history kind of dull. Not being a Mark Rylance fan also didn't help lol
And yeah the lighting and volume didn't help.

I like Mark Rylance but to me he was too old for Cromwell whereas Ben Miles who played the same role on stage was better by a mile.

Mark Rylance looked like a kicked puppy and made me want to kick him some more. (To be clear, I have never kicked a puppy, honest!!) The plays were far superior. I had my doubts about Ben Miles (far too pretty) but actually he was great, he brought humour and single-mindedness/ruthlessness. Also Lydia Leonard - excellent. |

I'm another who found this so disappointing, as a fan of Mantel's work - I don't know why they gave it to Peter Kosminsky to direct: he seems humourless and has favourite actors who he casts regardless, it seems, of their suitability here.
