British activist Guy Fawkes and a group of provincial English Catholics plan to blow up the House of Lords and kill King James I in the early 17th century.
One episode in and I think it's very good. Held my attention throughout, unlike 90% of other BBC dramas. The cast is stellar and they all seem to be really enjoying themselves. Cinematography is excellent, whoever is behind the camera really knows what they are doing.
