Kantians must be stopped.

Wolf Hall beloved by historians and yet relegated to the PBS American Masterpiece market vs Game of Thrones actor in Game of Thrones version of 1066, doing what Shakespeare himself did, which not let the facts get in the way of a story. Bonus points for making an actor address it.
