Theres great fun to be had watching Arthur Hughes and Anthony Boyle play unlikely crime-solving partners in Shardlake, Hulus slick 16th-century Tudor murder mystery miniseries. The set-up recalls other seemingly mismatched pairings that begin questionably yet ultimately must develop trust to work together from The Wires McNulty and Bunk (Dominic West and Wendell Pierce) to Mulder and Scully (David Duchovny and Gillian Anderson) on The X-Files.
