A bit late (after 2.5 years) :) - I seem to have missed it in 2015.
I wonder if the serial really was such a success.
I have watched (in German) all 6 episodes on the German/French [sic!] TV
channel Arte recently.
Apparently at least 50% of the population suffered from depression in those
days.
How Cromwell survived 6 episodes without committing suicide is an enigma.

PS
This reminds me of "Shakespeare in Love" which I recently watched a second time
on German TV - with very mixed feelings :)
Of course there are many weird ideas. The queen would never enter a public

I really liked the scene with Webster.

So anyway, here goes: music begins with Ah Robin (not sung - and probably
played on a lute?)...melds into Glassy instrumental stuff. A tremolando

Mark Rylance is a very curious being.
