The dramatic six-part series Goya tells the story of the artist, who was born in 1746 and spent his childhood in Fuendetodos, a small village near Zaragoza. In 1824, fearing persecution by the new Spanish government, he moved to Bordeaux, where he died a few years later. The division of the series into six logical parts is not accidental: the creators tried to devote each episode to a separate period of creativity and life of the great Goya, as well as that time.

Following the fact-based historical book of the same name, this drama follows the rise of Cromwell as he becomes Henry the VIII's closest advisor. England in the 1520s is a heartbeat from disaster. If the King dies without a male heir, the country could be destroyed by civil war. Henry VIII wants to annul his marriage of twenty years and marry Anne Boleyn. The Pope and most of Europe oppose him. Into this impasse steps Thomas Cromwell: a wholly original man, a charmer, and a bully, both idealist and opportunist, astute in reading people, and implacable in his ambition. But Henry is volatile: one day tender, one day murderous. Cromwell helps him break the opposition, but what will be the price of his triumph? close
