Jacob B @RT48293763 03/08/2025 Helen Mirren is always mesmerizing, without exception. However, even she can’t save this dull as dishwater series. The lavish production pales in comparison to the very low budget BBC series with Glenda Jackson that covered the same territory ,“Elizabeth R” , from decades prior. This is proof positive that bigger isn’t always better. See more Pacifist287 T @RT55739362 10/15/2024 The best adaptation of Elizabeth I.....beats the movie by miles.....Helen Mirren is terrific!
