Trailer
Season 2 opens with young Henry VI coming to the throne, under the protection of the duke of Gloucester, unaware that there are other claimants to the throne, Plantagent of York and Somerset of Lancaster, whose factions will ultimately cause the Wars of the Roses.
Using the camera to help us gain a greater intimacy with the inner-workings of the characters is one of Eyre's greatest achievements. This allows for performances which simply wouldn't be possible on stage.
