This and its brother, season 1, are a fantastic and engaging series of performances, making Shakespeare engaging and understandable. Also, for the historian, it is a wonderful way to put the mish mash that is the Wars of the Roses into some sort of order. For years, ever since Josephine Tey wrote "The Daughter of Time", Shakespeare has been the villain in polluting the image of Richard III. Watching this series suddenly brings into perspective Richard is written in comparison to the other plays. He addresses the fourth wall, constantly. Shakespeare has to imagine what the hunchback is thinking, because his actions can't condemn him.
