| Shardlake / int_1b70ccc6 | comment |
The Cynic: Barak starts out as this, while Shardlake is The Idealist who believes in reform, but both men's positions shift as the series progresses. | |

Foregone Conclusion | |
| Shardlake / int_3bc88a7f | comment |
Foregone Conclusion: Anyone who knows history knows that if the series continues long enough, Cromwell will lose his head and it isn't just because he's played by Sean Bean. | |

Advertised Extra | |
| Shardlake / int_4b0ef86e | comment |
Advertised Extra: Sean Bean as Cromwell features prominently in the marketing and the trailer, but he is a minor, if pivotal, character only appearing in a few scenes. | |

Deliberate Values Dissonance | |
| Shardlake / int_aabe2fb | comment |
Deliberate Values Dissonance: Many people treat Shardlake with contempt due to his disability and he is often referred to as a crookback. Shardlake himself, as well as Barak, also have open contempt for the monks, suspecting that many are sodomites. This is all in line with the values of the era. | |

Crusading Lawyer | |
| Shardlake / int_e9505dd1 | comment |
Crusading Lawyer: Shardlake is a reformer who believes that the Catholic Church and its monasteries are corrupt. Initially, he believes they should all be shut down and their wealth given to the poor, though he eventually realizes that his own side is corrupt and the poor aren't going to benefit from the dissolution. | |
