I’ve never watched any series of “the crown”. They sound atrocious and extremely unkind.

I don’t have Netflix, so have never seen ‘The Crown’, but as a Royalist would certainly have watched.

Hopefully, one day it will appear on another channel.

Never watched it, despite a DD’s urging and saying how great it was.
IMO it’s awful to make a supposedly ‘factual’ drama about people who are still alive, and in particular in the case of the RF, can’t and won’t come out and say, ‘It wasn’t like that! That didn’t happen!’

Must say I thought it pretty crassly disrespectful of the Queen at the time.
Still, when has Netflix and their ilk ever cared about anything but making money?

I’ll see it through to the end as I’ve come this far!

I agree the early series were the best. I particularly liked the episode about the London smog because it’s where my own earliest memories were jogged into action.

It’s all just fantasy now. â˜č

I think so.

I have to agree with Lucy Mangan in The Guardian:
“This Diana-obsessed series is the very definition of bad writing. Despite the brilliant cast, it’s a crass, soapy dive into the abyss – not least in the atrocious scenes featuring Ghost Diana”.

I can’t believe I loved this Netflix drama. I waited avidly for each new series. The 50’s and 60’s years especially.

Now? I’m done with it.
How about you?
