Victoria the series

ITV in the UK produced the series "Victoria".  They allowed PBS air it in North America and I believe earlier episodes are available on Netflix.  This drama features an all-star cast including Jenna Coleman as a young Queen Victoria and Tom Hughes as Prince Albert. The monarch's life is chronicled as the story begins with the death of King William IV in 1837, her accession to the throne at the tender age of 18 and her relationships with the influential forces around her. With the advice of the prime minister Lord Melbourne and the support of her husband Prince Albert the young queen flourishes and establishes herself in her newfound role.

I have really enjoyed all the episodes.  So far three series have been aired, and it looks like a fourth season will be in production shortly.
