The Crown

[Not Heidi]

With the Queen's death, I've finally remembered to watch The Crown. It's excellent.

Two episodes are particularly moving.

One is S3:E3, Aberfan, about a disaster that killed 116 children in a Welsh mining town.

The other is S3:E4, Bubbikins. This one has a bit of mystery to it, so I'll leave it there.

The Crown has become one of my favorite TV shows, and I don't watch a lot of TV.

1. Aberfan. I remember that ep.

2. Olivia Coleman was the BEST, Elizabeth.

Waiting fir Season 5 and 6 to see how Imelda Stanton does in the role. Now that Her Majesty gets laid to rest at Windsor tomorrow.

3. I disagree. I like the first Elizabeth. Had some spunk to the character.

4. We enjoyed watching The Crown,,,,

that show made me go research some historical events I had never heard about,,,,
I think it was difficult to make the change between the actors but they all did outstanding jobs.
Looking forward the the final seasons.

5. I watched them all during the Covid lockdown

Truly an excellent series. I am glad the Charles we seem to be getting as the new king seems to be more mature than the self-absorbed idiot we saw in the show.

6. Was wondering how they'll end the final season ...

now we know.

7. great history

The Crown is history at its best - well researched, not shallow or kitschy, breaking down the Royals to a more human and sensitive level... we, the ordinary moviegoers, can somehow empathize with the characters. Great job!!

As for Charles, I don't think he's shown as an arrogant snob in the series. I believe the series is even in favor of him and his role - but let's wait for the Diana scandals in the next season (although I'm not too keen on it, having had enough of it in the 1990s).
