Sansom’s internationally popular Tudor murder mystery series. The eerie whodunnit adventure follows lawyer Matthew Shardlake (Arthur Hughes) and Jack Barack (Anthony Boyle) as they work to uncover the truth behind a horrific murder. The two men are sent out on a mission by the dangerous and all-powerful right-hand man to Henry VIII: Thomas Cromwell (Sean Bean) ­ and failure is not an option. As they race to uncover the mystery, Shardlake and Barack are met with hostility, suspicion and paranoia by the monks who fear for their future and will seemingly stop at nothing to preserve their order. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bDGNwIM0r9g https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shardlake_(TV_series) https://www.imdb.com/title/tt27390563/ Acapulco (season 3 premiere) (12:01 am, Apple TV+) Máximo Gallardo (Eugenio Derbez/Enrique Arrizon) recalls his life beginning with his start in the 1980s as a cabana boy at an Acapulco resort in this bilingual comedy series inspired by Derbez's 2017 film "How to Be a Latin Lover."
