First of all, apologies for how long it took me to get to this! The recap of Sunday’s episode will hopefully come to you in a more timely fashion, now that I’m not on walkabout for The Royal We. Second: this show is extremely interesting. This episode, at least, feels quite internal, which is apt given that the books are HIGHLY internal, and Mark Rylance’s performance as Cromwell is spectacularly subtle. This show is in many ways the polar opposite of The Tudors – The Big Plot Moment that happens herein is handled with a minimum of bombast — and so far, I think it’s really compelling and so well done. Let’s dive in. To the Tower!
