Matthew Shardlake is a yapper, a monologuer, a soliloquist. Give that man a minute and he'll be waxing lyrical. What a babe.

Me: *watching Shardlake just to fun*
*Jack Barak smirks to Shardlake*
Me: *sighs* Here I go again… Another ship.

people who enjoyed larys strong on this season of house of the dragon should also check out the shardlake books by cj sansom and the tv adaptation. the main character is not an evil adviser (sorry) but he's a disabled lawyer with scoliosis solving murders during the tudor dynasty and there's a lot of similar exploration of historical ableism and having to rely on your mind rather than your body when making your way up in the world. also they actually cast a disabled actor as the main character in the tv show which i appreciate.

I'm literally six minutes into Shardlake and it already feels like Shardlake and Barak are having some gay-ass chemistry
I hope I won't be proven wrong
also Anthony Boyle is damn fine in that period dress

Did I picture Mathew Shardlake being this hot when I read the books? No
But I'm really not mad about it

If the new Shardlake tv adaptation doesn't create a huge new collection of Arthur Hughes there is no justice.
I mean yes, Sean Bean, yes Anthony Boyle, but ARTHUR HUGHES PEOPLE. He's an amazing actor, he's so damn pretty, and oh dear Gods do we need more visibly disabled actors getting attention. :-)
(And he's playing the lead so... :D )

[ID: Arthur Hughes in costume as Matthew Shardlake in a publicity photo for Shardlake, wearing a gold doublet, a blue riding cloak, and fawn-coloured riding gloves. He's riding a horse. He looks worried, and the weather looks unpleasant. Again he has short hair and a short beard.]
