In her twilight, the aging Queen Elizabeth grants favors to the young and dashing Earl of Essex, who betrays his monarch and attempts to take over the state. His rebellion fails and he is executed. Elizabeth, now bereft of all her former councillors and friends, dies alone.
Historical mini-series documenting the reign of Elizabeth I. Each episode focuses on one dramatic period in the lengthy reign of the Virgin Queen, including her ascension to the throne, her various marital intrigues, her problems with her cousin Mary, Queen of Scots, and the threatened invasion of… More the Spanish Armada. The series is dominated by a tour de force performance by Glenda Jackson, who won an Emmy for her portrayal of Elizabeth.
Borderline acceptable. hide show
Borderline acceptable. How far down has television sunk to these days. Not to disrespect the creators of Elizabeth R but I guess it's simply the trend of tv these days (nothing good on.) Time poorly wasted.This show is not nice, but the borderline of the story is acceptable. Elizabeth R
