The casting is a joke.
Why does a beautiful actress need to be cast as Victoria?? There is a perfectly talented actress right now without a job because they had to cast this bitch.

shareBecause the show wants eye balls. Rachel Dratch from SNL would look more accurate, but who the hell wants to watch her?
shareshe wouldn't be accurate, that's not how Victoria looked either.
shareWho should have been cast then?
shareI don't know, as I said, some young actress that looks like Victoria and that can act but she's unknown because they had to cast that stupid ass fucking bitch they casted as Victoria, who is also an unknown but she now has a career because of her beauty. That's fucked up. People complain about whitewashing well what would this be?? This woman looks NOTHING like Victoria, it's almost offensive because as I said, actors aren't given equal chances.
shareHonestly, I believe that Jenna Coleman has quite a resemblance to a younger Queen Victoria. And even if she's a bit prettier, who cares?
Jenna does an awesome job.
Yeah I don't want to watch something with an unattractive lead. Television is a visual medium, so everything should look visually appealing, including the people.
shareOP just wants to troll and use nasty offensive sexist language for an actress that he doesn't like.
shareIt is a shame that our history has to be dumbed down and beautified to make it saleable. The real Victoria had many admirable qualities but beauty wasn't top of the list. I would have liked to see an unknown in the role too, or at least someone who is known more for her talent than her looks.
Bryony Hannah, perhaps?
Did morons complain about Emily Blunt being cast in "The Young Victoria" movie?
shareHave you seen portraits of the real young Queen Victoria?
shareWhy did you feel the need to call her a bitch? That was really uncalled for!
Anyway, I believe that Jenna looks enough like a young Victoria to be given a pass. And if she's a bit prettier, who cares?
Actually Jenna’s not THAT different to a young Queen Victoria.

She’s believable in the role and the show is quite a success, whatever profanities Random Internet Dude wants to hurl at her. I’m sure she couldn’t care less.
