SHARDLAKE TRAILER IS HERE
FOR DISNEY'S NEW EPIC MINI TV SERIES
Disney Plus has graced us with the first trailer for their historical mystery series SHARDLAKE which, based on the best-selling novels by CJ Sansom, sees Arthur Hughes playing Matthew Shardlake, a lawyer with an acute 
sense of justice and one of the few honest men in a world beset with scheming and plots. Shardlake works for Thomas Cromwell (Sean Bean) the dangerous and all-powerful right-hand man to Henry VIII. Despite Shardlake’s unwavering loyalty to Cromwell and the Crown, his position in
society is unfavoured due to his appearance, as a person living with scoliosis during the Tudor period, suffering the indignity of being abused as a “crookback” wherever he turns. Anthony Boyle plays the cocky and good
-looking Jack Barak, who leaves Shardlake unsure of whether he is an assistant, or Cromwell’s spy. Drenched in mystery, suspense and deception, this four-part drama, is an eerie whodunnit adventure, set in 16th century
England during the dissolution of the monasteries. Shardlake’s sheltered life as a lawyer is turned upside down when Cromwell instructs him to investigate the murder of one of his commissioners at a monastery in the remote town of 
Scarnsea.
The commissioner was gathering evidence to close the monastery and it is now imperative for Cromwell’s own political survival that Shardlake both solves the murder and closes the monastery. He leaves Shardlake in no 
doubt that failure is not an option.
Cromwell insists that he is accompanied by Jack Barak to Scarnsea, where the duo are met with hostility, suspicion and paranoia by the monks who fear for their future and will seemingly stop at nothing to preserve their order.

Anthony Boyle is in everything lately. No date yet?
ReplyDeleteYes, him and that Edward Bluemel, both not overly talented nor screen interesting. No date yet, but soon, I am guessing this spring.
DeleteHere's another one I doubt I would watch. Am I picky? Probably. lol
ReplyDeleteHow positively depressive
DeleteI feel like I've been bored with most of what Disney has put out this past year. Allison and I tried to watch Peter Pan and Wendy the other night and neither of us enjoyed it much. I just kind of feel like a lot of their non animated offerings are just meh anymore.
ReplyDeleteI have never seen a good Peter Pan they are all boring to me, but Shardlake looks nice in the trailer and I love that the lead will be the first physically impaired TV lead ever.
