It was hard not to compare this version of Queen Victoria's story with that of the film version, starring Emily Blunt. I loved that film, but found this Queen Victoria to be just as compelling.

Coleman and Hughes make a captivating team. The passion invigorates a production too often fixated on pageantry and parties.
December 05, 2016
Coleman totally convinced as the pint-sized powerhouse, conveying Victoria's girlish volubility, vulnerability and iron will all at once.
January 13, 2017
Coleman, fitted with blue contact lenses that make her eyes pop (in a good way), makes an enchanting young queen, and Sewell gives off more heat than any prime minister has a right to.

Viewers who find drama in such rarefied and archaic detail will find plenty to enjoy; others may wish for a little more spice.

Victoria was written and "created" by Daisy Goodwin, and although her dialogue offends me less than Julian Fellowes's, there is still something irritatingly wishful about the way she has organised her narrative.
January 19, 2017
... a timeless tale of a young woman who resisted all those who wished to manipulate or mock her, overcame her fears and found independence and love. What could be better?
January 13, 2017
Sumptuous production - some historic liberties taken - and Coleman is terrific.

What made Downton Abbey work on two levels was the inextricable connection, the symbiotic relationship between the aristocrats and their servants. Victoria seems to have missed that memo.
