Shardlake doesn’t come with a title sequence, but it could probably do with one. I’m imagining an old-school 1970s montage here, the kind that introduces characters with a wink, a nod and some nifty wind instruments and epic percussion. “(Badum-badum-badum) Arthur Hughes is (dum-dum-dum-dum) SHARDLAKE!” That sort of thing. Heck, I’d go for a True Detective-esque intro, if you have one. At best, some snappy animated visuals at the top might help us to understand what’s happening. It might also give us a break from the incessant chit-chat.
