STORY OF SHARDLAKE SERIES
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. Check out the new trailer below:
