Ken Follett's best-selling novel is brought to life in a star-studded and critically-acclaimed eight-part miniseries. Emerging from the war-torn shadows of England's Dark Ages, an idealistic mason, Tom Builder sets out on a quest of erecting a glorious Cathedral bathed in light. But when that light threatens to illuminate the dark secrets of ambitious Bishop Waleran Bigod and the battling progeny of King Henry, Queen Maud and King Stephen, they'll stop at nothing to keep those secrets safe. The epic miniseries event also stars Matthew MacFadyen as Prior Philip, Hayley Atwell as the beautiful noblewoman Aliena and Donald Sutherland as Bartholomew. (oficjalny tekst dystrybutora)

I first came across Ken Follett's story through the adventure game by the German studio Daedelic. After finishing the game, I realized this epic historical tale was just begging for a film adaptation. So when I found out there was one, produced by the Scott brothers no less, I didn't hesitate to track it down. I mean, with the Scotts involved, how could it go wrong, right? But from the very first minute, I had a sinking feeling. The opening credits were promising—everything looked great, the intro music was a delight—but then the story kicked in... and it was a mess. The plot was unbelievably complicated, jumping from character to character without any logical flow, and the time shifts were never explained. Even though the sets were gorgeous and the medieval atmosphere was spot on, I couldn’t shake the feeling that I was watching a medieval soap opera. It was a huge letdown. I only stuck with the series out of respect for the original story, since I knew what was coming from the game and was curious how the creators would handle it. In the end, it just barely earned three stars from me. Now, I guess I have no choice but to tackle the book series, even if each one is around a thousand pages long.
