Elizabeth I is a historical miniseries focusing on Britain’s legendary monarch, premiered in 2005 with 2 episodes. Directed by Tom Hooper and starring Helen Mirren, it takes the later period of Elizabeth I’s reign (1585-1603) as the timeline, showing her wisdom as a monarch and emotional struggles as an ordinary person.​
The series avoids the grand narrative of traditional historical dramas and instead delves into the character’s inner world: amid religious conflicts (tensions between Protestants and Catholics), external military threats (the invasion of the Spanish Armada) and court power struggles, Elizabeth I stabilized her rule with a tough stance and led Britain into the "Golden Age"; at the same time, her complex relationships with her favorites Robert Dudley and the Earl of Essex, as well as the trade-off between power and loneliness behind her "lifelong unmarried" status, are portrayed in a delicate and three-dimensional way. With superb acting, Helen Mirren perfectly combines the majesty of a monarch, the decisiveness of a statesman and the vulnerability of a woman, making the character break away from "symbolization" and full of human warmth.​
The series focuses on the restoration of historical details, from the gorgeous court costumes, retro etiquette rules to the urban style of London in the 16th century, all striving to be in line with historical facts. It not only shows Elizabeth I’s profound influence on British history but also explores the eternal theme of "power and humanity" from a delicate perspective, becoming a classic in the field of historical dramas.​
