Plot and cast

ITV's Victoria, which is coming to Netflix this December, plunges us back to 1837 when King William IV. Daisy Goodwin wrote this beautiful historical drama. It takes us on a journey of how the eighteen-year-old Princess Alexandrina Victoria becomes Queen, defying all odds. However, her journey wasn't easy; she faced several hurdles, including dealing with scandals, corruption, and political upheavals in the Court.

Apart from that, it also gives a sneak peek into her personal life, her marriage to Germany's Prince Albert, and their passionate romance.

It has a whopping score of 87% critics' on Rotten Tomatoes and has 8.2 stars on IMDb, making it one of the highest-ranking series of the decade. You might know Jenna Coleman from Doctor Who, but her performance as the Queen in the series is no less than phenomenal. She captures every emotion perfectly. The crisis, the doubts, the passion, and the fearlessness, she blends into the role that very few could. Apart from Coleman, here's who plays who:

• Adrian Schiller as Penge
• Tommy Knight as Archibald Brodie
• Tom Hughes as Albert
• Ferdinand Kingsley as Mr. Francatelli
• Anna Wilson-Jones as Lady Emma Portman
• Daniela Holtz as Baroness Lehzen
• Nigel Lindsay as Sir Robert Peel
• Catherine Flemming as Duchess of Kent and Strathearn
• David Oakes as Prince Ernest
• Margaret Clunie as Duchess of Sutherland
• Peter Bowles as the Duke of Wellington
• Alex Jennings as King Leopold I of the Belgians
• Laurie Shepherd as Prince Bertie

The series successfully recreates the essence of 19th-century Britain. The best part? It's your regular textbook details; it focuses on character development. It's a show about how a young royal steps into power, where the world is ready to scrutinize her every move.
