Recent Oscar nominee Andrea Riseborough heads up a quality Civil War adventure

Not a satanic Hammer horror film as the title might suggest, but a quality English Civil War drama with a killer cast. All porcelain face, rouge and corsets, Andrea Riseborough is Angelica Fanshawe, a noblewoman through whom a battle for the soul of England plays out. 

Angelica is not a noblewoman for long and, as England descends into bloody civil war, she is cast out, with the scandalous reputation of the title. Riseborough brings an iron lady grit to a series that matches lofty historical storytelling with gripping entertainment. (One series, plus follow-up series New Worlds)
