"Wolf Hall" Episode 1 Review (No Spoilers, Except for Historical Facts...)

Image credit:  notjustanothertvsite.com In January of this year, BBC Two released a television adaptation of Hilary Mantel's novels  Wolf Hall  and  Bring Up the Bodies , based on the Tudor period of history.  They are told from the point of view of Thomas Cromwell, who in his lifetime rose from obscurity to adviser and close confidante to the King of England. It has felt like a very long wait for "Wolf Hall" to begin airing in the US, but it is finally here.  Episode one aired on PBS's Masterpiece segment on April 5th, and will continue to air Sunday evenings at 10/9c.
