Reformation (German with English subtitles) – October 30, TV-14
The lavish two-part historical drama Reformation presents the story of the little monk from Wittenberg who put the “protest” into Protestant and rocked the religious establishment of his time. His big beef: the church’s teaching that people could pay their way into heaven. Rome threw everything at him short of execution, but the damage was done. Within years of his original protest, Germans would be reading the Bible for themselves in their own dialect, thanks to a vigorous translation written by an unstoppable, ex-communicated Martin Luther. And for a special treat, one of Luther’s arch opponents, Cardinal Albrecht, is played by Joachim Król, who stars in the first four episodes of MHz Choice’s Donna Leon’s Brunetti Mysteries.
