THE YOUNG VICTORA // ÅR: 2009 // BASERAT PÅ: Drottning Victoria träffar sin blivande man Albert (cirka 1840)
HANDLING: "A young woman comes of age, a queen and no one's puppet. We watch Victoria navigate amidst many who want to control her, starting with her mother. The Kings of England and Belgium have picked mates for her: she examines her choices and prefers Albert, a Saxon Prince, Belgium's choice. She's also in the thrall of Lord Melbourne, Prime Minister when at 18 she takes the throne. She's lost when his party is beaten; her stubbornness in political and personal affairs nearly undoes her authority and marriage. It's Albert's help she accepts; counseled by the king's widow, Victoria finds something for Albert to do, and in the process, finds balance and social purpose."
TURN // ÅR: 2014- // BASERAT PÅ: Spioner under kampen av USA's frihet från Storbritannien (cirka 1776)
HANDLING: "TURN: Washington's Spies takes viewers into the stirring and treacherous world of the Revolutionary War and introduces Abraham Woodhull who, after aligning with a group of childhood friends, forms the Culper Ring -- America's first spy ring."
WOLF HALL // ÅR: 2015 // BASERAT PÅ: Thomas Cromwell's framgångar under Henry VIII's tid som kung (cirka 1530)
HANDLING: "England in the 1520s is a heartbeat from disaster. If the King dies without a male heir, the country could be destroyed by civil war. Henry VIII wants to annul his marriage of twenty years and marry Anne Boleyn. The Pope and most of Europe oppose him. Into this impasse steps Thomas Cromwell: a wholly original man, a charmer, and a bully, both idealist and opportunist, astute in reading people, and implacable in his ambition. But Henry is volatile: one day tender, one day murderous. Cromwell helps him break the opposition, but what will be the price of his triumph?"
THE KING'S SPEECH // ÅR: 2010 // BASERAT PÅ: Stammande George VI tar hjälp för att hålla ett tal där man förklarar krig mot Tyskland (1939)
HANDLING: "Tells the story of the man who became King George VI, the father of Queen Elizabeth II. After his brother abdicates, George ('Bertie') reluctantly assumes the throne. Plagued by a dreaded stammer and considered unfit to be king, Bertie engages the help of an unorthodox speech therapist named Lionel Logue. Through a set of unexpected techniques, and as a result of an unlikely friendship, Bertie is able to find his voice and boldly lead the country through war."

The King's Speech är så bra :) Även Turn, även om jag tyckte den var lite seg. Resterande två har jag inte sett, men har hört mycket bra om Wolf Hall.
