The influence of England's Victorian era on everything from romance novels to Christmas can't be overstated. However, the young Queen Victoria is often thought of in the abstract. Victoria changes all of that by giving her a voice and a richly drawn personal life.
Like the real Victoria, actress Jenna Coleman is small in stature, but she carries herself with a distinctly royal air whether she's falling for the dashing Prince Albert or navigating a burgeoning revolution. In terms of royal-based period dramas, this series is by far one of the best, and that's thanks in large part to the way it balances court intrigue with matters of the heart.
