The plot involves British royal family in 40's and 50's, including characters based on real-life people. I think episode focuses on creating the atmosphere and (mainly) characters rather than plot, which makes it a bit boring, especially for the kind of audience who are not extremely interested in monarchy or important persons within the monarchy. But, it still manages you to start caring about them, King George IV, for example, which I think the most part of episode is about. I can say that the episode really succeeded in creating atmosphere and there were several things that helped in it, such as costumes and decorations, design. So it's able to transport you to its world, which is very good and does the job to make you feel like you're in Buckingham Palace.
I think all of these are enough for the first episode, but it still lacks ambitious plot(reason of why I think so can be that I'm not really into the topic it's about), which is the most important for me and I got bored in the very first minutes of episode. And it was 56 minutes long.
My vote is 6/10.
