Wolf Hall: The Mirror and the Light (limited series finale) (9 pm, PBS)

Wikipedia says this is six episodes but I'm only seeing four?

I've been watching it. I can confirm that it is six episodes. All six
episodes adapt the third novel in the trilogy by Hilary Mantel which
wasn't written till 2020. Alas she died of a stroke in 2022.

There must have been complaints that the plot was hard to follow in the
first series 10 years ago, six episodes adapting the first two novels.
This time minor characters are explicitly discussing plot developments
with each other and with Cromwell. I think it's unnecessary.
