Mrs. Brown

CriticsCritics: 82
AudienceAudience: 7.3

After the death of her beloved husband, a grieving queen withdraws from public life and finds unexpected comfort in a blunt, loyal Scottish servant. Their close friendship gradually helps her face her responsibilities again, but his unusual place within the royal household provokes jealousy, political concern, scandal, and tension around the monarchy.

My take

You’ll likely enjoy this if you prefer quietly emotional historical dramas, strong performances, and royal intrigue like The Young Victoria; Not for you if you want fast pacing or a conventional romance.
