Matthew Shardlake

"Name of the Rose" vibes.

Only 4 episodes, based on a book from a series of novels by C. J. Sansom.

Hopefully we will get more series as I found it interesting. But it was missing something, which I can't really put my finger on, to make it great.

Acting was good. Ruby Serkis, daughter of Andy, in the cast is a point of interest.

Shardlake story arc was good.

He was professionally competent, serving Thomas Cromwell (advisor to Henry VIII), but naïve on the whole political situation and how things work in the background, till, by the end, he begins to realise the reality of the situation.

Basically this is a murder mystery, with the political and religious overtones of the times.
