The Pillars of the Earth is set against a backdrop of war, religious strife and power struggles which tears lives and families apart. In that time, there rises a magnificent Cathedral in Kingsbridge. Against the backdrop, love-stories entwine: Tom, the master builder, Aliena, the noblewoman, the sadistic Lord William, Philip, the prior of Kingsbridge, Jack, the artist in stone work and Ellen, the woman from the forest who casts a curse.

Good, but not as good as the book
The show is quite interesting - the actors are good, the historical recreation is done well and generally it's a captivatingshow. it fails to reach the depths of the book, which is more complex, but still worth watching if you enjoy the genre.
