Being Thomas Cromwell has never been easy, but somehow the more powerful he becomes, the more his grip begins to slip in Wolf Hall: The Mirror & the Light's "Defiance"
As Cromwell continues to fix Henry's problems with women in Wolf Hall: The Mirror and the Light'ssecond episode, his former mentor, the Archbishop of York, is everywhere.
With a series as good as Wolf Hall, do historical inaccuracies matter? Should they be used to drive the story? Or do they define what we think "really" happened?"
While a great many things are not remotely all right with either the worlds of Tudor England or the present day, at least we have the beauty of Wolf Hall: The Mirror and The Light to sustain us. And it is beautiful.
