Devil's Whore, The (TV Mini-series)

Aroview: Period romp set during the English Civil War concerning the devilishly manipulative Angelica (Riseborough), and her marriage to revolutionary Thomas Rainsborough (Fassbender), one of Oliver Cromwell's closest friends.

Huge in every sense of the word, this four-part series will win you over with its lavish set-pieces, rather unnecessary bedroom scenes and soap-opera theatrics. Although certain liberties have been taken with history, it's still a decent stab at explaining some of the more scandelous issues of the Civil War.
