Perhaps one of the best things about Shardlake is also its worst: The series is a microscopically mini one at just four episodes long. On the one hand, this makes for tight storytelling, very little bloat, and an insatiable desire to binge binge binge like mad until you get to the very end. On the other hand, however, it all feels as if it’s over far too quickly.

The actor [Arthur Hughes], who anchors every scene he plays, has charisma to spare, and, assuming an audience arrives, this will one day be characterized as a star-making performance. .... Adapted by Stephen Butchard (“The Good Mothers”) in four relatively lean, well-packed episodes, the series includes a complement of classic procedural scenes. .... It’s no surprise to learn that the series was partially filmed in Transylvania. We are on unfamiliar familiar ground, and it feels good.
