Victoria returns to Masterpiece this weekend on most PBS stations as Season 3 begins. Let's quickly recap where things stand with everyone.

Lord Melbourne: "I feel quite certain you can manage without me now, Ma'am."

The first season of Victoria was a show trying to find its legs and its voice in the cultural landscape. Due to the timeslot it landed, it was inevitably billed as "Downton Abbey, but royalty," while the timing of the show's premiere brought unavoidable comparisons to Netflix's The Crown. But Victoria has turned out to be neither of these things. Though it did try for an "upstairs/downstairs ensemble" feel in Season 1 to imitate Downton, by last year it had settled into "Upstairs, with a running single Downstairs subplot." The servants just aren't where the show's heart lies.
