Depressing!

The trailer is out for the BBC's upcoming miniseries adaptation of Hilary Mantel's 2009 Booker Prize-winning novel Wolf Hall, which depicts Thomas Cromwell's rise to power in the court of Henry VIII. The story has been split into six episodes, which will air in the US in April. It looks very tasteful and historically accurate and all, but I have a firm "no execution scenes" policy, so I'll be skipping this one, thanks.
