I really liked Jenna Coleman on Dr. Who...(I thought the way they killed off her character sucked...)

Cannot wait for this one!

And similarly, The Crown on Netflix was excellent. It will be around for another 5 seasons. Already filming season 2.

Coleman may be the consummate method actor. IIRC she and Prince Harry were/are known to hookup on occasion.

Masterpiece is one of my favourite PBS programmes. "Victoria" might be view as the prequel to the peerage within Downton Abbey. I am sure this will be worth watching.

I fell asleep. There was something about the style of the show that bothered me. I can't put my finger on it, but I did feel like the lighting and camera angles were annoying.

But I'll try again. I really want to like this one!

I'm hanging in for another episode -- maybe until #3 -- but this performance didn't draw me in like Downton Abbey. It's a nice effort but everyone seemed just slightly stiff and out of place.

This may become something to watch when there's nothing much else being broadcasted.
