I would like to much more focus on real historical events, in their rightful time and place, during the reign of Victoria. Too much time spent on events, many created just for the show, of petty personal "issues" having nothing to do with all the real and wonderful history of Victoria's long reign. When historical figures are used(for example Skeritt and Victoria's German half sister) they are totally transformed into people and in a time which they were not actually present. I hope Lord M was not one of those "transformed" from real history because I really enjoyed him and his relationship with Victoria in the 1 and 2 series. Characters were not identified and I had to guess at whom many of them really were. Neither were many of the places identified..some kind of subtitle on the screen would have been helpful to understand just where many of these scenes ere taking place. The costuming, especially Victoria's many spectacular clothing is really stunning. I also llike they ways she "aged" from the first to the third series and how the styles of clothing changed over the years.
