Get your required dose of culture with PBS' new Shakesperean import The Hollow Crown

The Hollow Crown

(PBS, 9 p.m., Friday)

Sonia Saraiya’s early review of this suggests this presentation of Shakespeare’s Henriad will be one of the real treats of the TV season, so we’re having Kevin McFarland—who knows a little something about the Bard—take a look at all four parts of the miniseries. Now, we know that all you British people saw this long ago, so you’re resolutely unimpressed by the fact that we’re getting it over a year later. To that, we will say that Ben Whishaw and Tom Hiddleston are great, no matter when they are enjoyed by us...

... GREAT PERFORMANCES: "THE HOLLOW CROWN"

PBS, 9:00 p.m. ET


The Hollow Crown is PBS’s latest attempt to mount a version of some of William Shakespeare’s “history plays” – specifically, the four-play cycle of Richard II (premiering tonight), followed by Henry IV: Parts 1 & 2 and Henry V. The last time public television presented all of these was in the late Seventies, when PBS and the BBC spent seven years televising all of Shakespeare’s plays. That cycle’s Richard II, made in 1978, starred Derek Jacobi in the title role. This new version, overseen by director Sam Mendes, stars Ben Whishaw of The Hours, in a version that also features David Morrissey of The Walking Dead, James Purefoy of The Following, and Patrick Stewart. The acting is impressive, the effort commendable – and the scenery, especially of the outdoor scenes, serms appropriately Shakespearean. Continues on subsequent Fridays...

THE WALKING DEAD - THE AV CLUB: STEVEN YEUN INTERVIEW

Steven Yeun is okay with being fans’ 2nd favorite Walking Dead character

by Kyle Ryan
August 29, 2013


When Steven Yeun meets fellow actors in social situations, he feels obligated to downplay his story, because anyone who’s struggled for years to make it would probably have to suppress the urge to take a swing at him. After performing for several years in Chicago as part of The Second City, Yeun (pronounced “yunn”) moved to Los Angeles in 2009, where he promptly landed his first gig, a television adaptation of the popular comic-book series The Walking Dead. In three seasons, The Walking Dead has become one of television’s most popular shows, escaping the gated community of basic cable to beat some of network TV’s highest rated series. (Even The Talking Dead, Chris Hardwick’s post-episode talk show, beats Game Of Thrones.) It has become a phenomenon, if an occasionally troubled one, as it brings on its third showrunner in four seasons. Viewers haven’t seemed to care, though, as Yeun tells The A.V. Club, the producers would do well to keep Norman Reedus’ Daryl Dixon alive. We chatted with him briefly ahead of the (kind of insane) DVD release of season three...



... AVC: When the show first started, there was obviously a larger ensemble, but as it has progressed, Glenn has become more of an integral character and less of a supporting player. How aware of it have you been?

Steven Yeun: "I think the joy of this show is that it is an ensemble show, and I think what’s great about this particular season is that we’re really going to delve into the world and really delve into people that you might not have seen, and open up things that have already been established. There is taking on more, there is a part of that, but then there’s also taking a step back and letting other characters breathe as well, so I’m excited for people to see this season, especially. I think this is going to be the “taste-making” year."


AVC: Your most memorable scene in season three is your fight with the walker after you were strapped to the chair. Didn’t you accidentally hurt the guy who was playing the zombie?

Steven Yeun: "Yeah, I feel bad. It was Russell [Towery], our stunt coordinator, and I smacked him in the head a couple of times really bad. He just got beat up. [Michael] Rooker, when he was holding him with that little choke, that choke pole, it’s like a pincher arm, so he would accidentally pinch Russell’s throat skin, so I can only imagine that hurts really bad. That’s why I’m in the chair and he’s doing the stunts..."
