Season 1 Review: Approach Victoria for what it is--a lavish production with impeccable period details and some impeccable entertainment ones--and you will be pleased. Coleman, who’s wonderful here, assures that anyway. Read full review

Season 1 Review: Victoria delivers precisely on two of the most essential elements of making historical fiction work: Is the cast--and particularly the lead--a group you want to spend hours with and does the plot move at a brisk, entertaining clip? That's an emphatic "yes" to both. Read full review

Season 1 Review: Victoria looks appropriately and enjoyably regal but only fitfully feels stirring enough to expand on the genre's loyal core. Take that as a sign that in the Masterpiece business, the crown has gotten that much heavier. Read full review

Season 1 Review: A perfectly entertaining period piece that has the misfortune of arriving shortly after a similarly themed but dramatically more compelling series, Netflix’s “The Crown.” Read full review

Season 2 Review: The second season is a beauty, and Diana Rigg is in the house, but Victoria still feels like sanitized history. Read full review

The New York Times

Mike Hale

Season 1 Review: As palace-bound melodramas go, Victoria is perfectly easy to watch, as long as you don’t mind that it never for a second feels as if you were watching something that could actually have taken place in the mid-19th century. Read full review

Washington Post

Hank Stuever

Jan 13, 2017

Season 1 Review: Predictable to the bone--and at times maddeningly redundant--Victoria too often feels like a period drama about the making of a period drama, rather than a deep, authentic breath of rarefied air. Read full review
