"Victoria," the current offering from "Masterpiece," seems to be heading toward cult status.

Starring Jenna Coleman as the young Queen Victoria, the series wraps up its season March 5.

Globe trotting
"Planet Earth II," another breathtaking trip around the world, may actually be an upgrade from the 2006 original, thanks to new gizmos and Job-like patience from the six-hour documentary's ace squad of filmmakers.
