    • Trivia
      The original novels by C.J. Sansom were considered as a project by Kenneth Branagh, who chose to do Wallander (2008) as it did not involve period costume or acting as someone with curvature of the spine.

    Missing something but still an enjoyable watch

    Shardlake offers up an intriguing plot with an excellent cast, it can at times lack a captivating spark to reach the next level. However, provides enough interest to keep you engaged to the end. I feel this is more an intro into the characters and expect more layers to unfold should more series be green lit. Certainly provides the opportunity for different stories to be told.

    Sean Bean lacked much character development and was massively underutilised. Whilst Arthur Hughes was very impressive and kept me interested throughout.

    Overall certainly worth a watch and with time I expect the show to improve with more series.
