    An intriguing take on Elizabeth's path to becoming the queen.
    Becoming Elizabeth doesn't care about showing battles and wars. Rather, the story focuses on Elizabeth's struggles after Henry VIII's death and explores the political mess and the different sides competing for power. It is well written with quite interesting dialogues. The show develops at a very good pace and as we reach the mid-season things start to get very critical and engaging.

    The casting is very fitting and gives life to the characters. Alicia von Rittberg as Elizabeth is emotional and energetic and gives us a loving character full of confusing moments as she tries to find strength and understand the game of power that she has been suddenly placed at. And then we have Tom Cullen as Thomas Seymour, a very charismatic and manipulative person who might even make you like him, as I did, despite doing all the wrong one can do. He is a manipulator after all and the actor does that very well. The young actors are amazing performers too. Oliver Zetterström as Edward does a powerful job at just 15 years old. Overall the cast is enjoyable and the character development is done beautifully.

    The visuals and cinematography are decent with beautifully done costumes and designs and music that blends nicely with the scenes.

    Ultimately, Becoming Elizabeth makes an enjoyable addition to this widely explored era which is definitely worth a visit for the genre's fans.
