The Sins of the Father

While remaining entertaining drama, this episode of Victoria has jumped the shark as historically accurate fiction; none of the most prominent things probably happened. The Upstairs revelation, while consistent with the historical record (though not the casting), is only a theory, and not the most likely one. The mandatory Downstairs plot has finally abandoned the pretense of a connection between the names of its characters and real people. The connection between the two plots has succumbed to the mandatory twenty-first century trope that characters in an historical drama, of whatever century, are only admirable when their attitudes are actually from 1968, and make them disregard their duties in their actual time.

This show is full of surprises, intense and emotional, I'm in love with Victoria and Albert (please marry in the real life), they are a very unique couple, going through everything together and having such wonderful moments... Scenes of Tom Hughes in this episode were incredible and so powerful, the developt of his character It's unbelievable, give an Emmy to that man!
