Splendid writing that keeps you fully engaged. I binge watched for hours upon hours. So many tears of happiness, anger, fear, and love. The series from beginning to end was rich and powerful. Daisy Goodwin created a fantastic journey through Queen Victoria's ascension and reign until the death of Prince Albert. Jenna Coleman and Tom Hughes played their roles as Queen and Prince beautifully. The sets and cinematography were rich and well made. My only regret and I've only one is that the series ended abruptly after 25 episodes with Albert collapsing in the very last scene and it left me agonizing. Historically Victoria agonized over the death of her beloved Albert for the rest of her life. Maybe Daisy thought it best to stop there, but I strongly disagree. Diana Rigg played "Duchess of Buccleuch" for 9 episodes in Season 2 (2017). Rigg played the character so well I had no idea it was the forever famous "Emma Peel" from "The Avengers" (1965-1968) and the iconic "Olenna Tyrell" in "Game of Thrones" (2013-2017) until I saw a tribute "Remembering Diana Rigg" and that she passed in 2020.
