This eight-part drama features an all-star cast including Jenna Coleman as a young Queen Victoria and Tom Hughes as Prince Albert. The monarch's life is chronicled as the story begins with the death of King William IV in 1837, her accession to the throne at the tender age of 18 and her relationships with the influential forces around her. With the advice of the prime minister Lord Melbourne and the support of her husband Prince Albert the young queen flourishes and establishes herself in her newfound role.

Over all, then, a slightly underwhelming start to this much anticipated return, though the visuals remain as stunningly rich and impressive as before. Go to Full Review Matthew Gilbert Boston Globe 02/14/2018
I've become a fool for "Victoria," which is currently in the middle of a very engaging second season on PBS's "Masterpiece." Go to Full Review Hanh Nguyen IndieWire 01/16/2018

It's laudable that Victoria willingly takes creative liberties to incorporate a brief, same-sex affair. Go to Full Review Sarah Doran Radio Times 09/17/2019
There's just something about Dame Diana Rigg. With just a nod of her head or a single word she can steal a scene and make a show. Go to Full Review Cheryl Wassenaar Culturess 09/17/2019
Is it too long? Almost certainly... But still, it's hard not to enjoy how lovely the episode is in terms of its beauty. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

Jeff B Feb 12 And so, the reign of Queen Victoria continues... I was displeased with Lord Melbourne's character development... perhaps Rufus had other plans? On par with season 1, worth the watch just for the history lesson for us non-Brits. See more Heidi O Jan 29 Couple is always fighting. So many boring scenes. History is compelling. This is a romance series. See more Frani D @FranTastic2026 Jan 9 Definitely worth watching , especially if you enjoy history. Well acted, magnificent scenery and sets. Intense, although it moves slowly, at times. I shall continue to the next season. Victoria is "pistol"!! See more Ketemama B. @Ketemama Dec 15 It's very entertaining. Love the way they weave historical events into the storyline. Jenna Coleman who plays Queen Victoria and the actor that plays Prince Albert are both terrific. See more Shahania T 12/01/2022 I loved the way Albert and Victoria's relationship has progressed since the first season, the way they are both working so hard to fulfill their royal duties but also be adorably in love is sweet to see. Albert is such a gentle soul, Tom Hughes really has won me over even more since we were first introduced to him in the first season. I think even more so than Jenna, he really does justice to Albert being a giant dorky nerd whose also devoted to his wife and family. See more 02/24/2021 I thought it was awful but when it was a little more expensive to do. See more Read all reviews
