The Devil's Whore

A four-part mini-series set during the English Civil War as seen through the eyes of 17-year-old courtier Angelica Fanshawe. An English co-production with American cable channel HBO, the story is replete with melodramatic bodice-ripping while presenting a textured view of history tempered with a healthy pinch of dramatic license, and the odd bit of supernatural fantasy. Peter Capaldi is particularly noteworthy as the doomed King Charles I; and relative newcomer Andrea Riseborough also received critical acclaim in the lead role.
