Get your required dose of culture with PBS' new Shakesperean import The Hollow Crown

The Hollow Crown

(PBS, 9 p.m., Friday)

Sonia Saraiya’s early review of this suggests this presentation of Shakespeare’s Henriad will be one of the real treats of the TV season, so we’re having Kevin McFarland—who knows a little something about the Bard—take a look at all four parts of the miniseries. Now, we know that all you British people saw this long ago, so you’re resolutely unimpressed by the fact that we’re getting it over a year later. To that, we will say that Ben Whishaw and Tom Hiddleston are great, no matter when they are enjoyed by us...

... GREAT PERFORMANCES: "THE HOLLOW CROWN"

PBS, 9:00 p.m. ET


The Hollow Crown is PBS’s latest attempt to mount a version of some of William Shakespeare’shistory plays” – specifically, the four-play cycle of Richard II (premiering tonight), followed by Henry IV: Parts 1 & 2 and Henry V. The last time public television presented all of these was in the late Seventies, when PBS and the BBC spent seven years televising all of Shakespeare’s plays. That cycle’s Richard II, made in 1978, starred Derek Jacobi in the title role. This new version, overseen by director Sam Mendes, stars Ben Whishaw of The Hours, in a version that also features David Morrissey of The Walking Dead, James Purefoy of The Following, and Patrick Stewart. The acting is impressive, the effort commendable – and the scenery, especially of the outdoor scenes, serms appropriately Shakespearean. Continues on subsequent Fridays...

... THE FRIDAY GUIDE: The play's the thing, even if the timing (in the teeth of the new fall season) leaves much to be desired. For the next four Fridays, PBS's Great Performances lives up to its billing with a spectacular and dazzlingly acted mega-miniseries titled The Hollow Crown (check tvguide.com listings), comprising four of Shakespeare's history plays that form a progression from this week's Richard II (starring Ben Whishaw as the foppish, doomed monarch) through the two parts of Henry IV and culminating with the epic Henry V on Oct. 11, with Tom Hiddleston maturing from the callow Prince Hal to the warrior king in the final three movies. Sounds dry? It's anything but, enlivening the classic texts with rich cinematic production values and starry casting, including in the first play alone Patrick Stewart, David Morrissey, David Suchet, The Following's James Purefoy and rising star Rory Kinnear as the banished Bolingbroke — who will become Henry IV (played in later years and installments by Jeremy Irons)...
