This 4-DISC TV miniseries delves into the queen's private life behind the public face with daring frankness.
Quite interesting to take a peek into the royal family life and the closed, privileged inner circle. A well-crafted, well-acted,…

Amazing access to resources and venues ... how did they do it? Helped me to understand the dynamic play between tradition and new morality and how important the Queen's role is in representing the church ... I had no idea of the great…

This was the second time we have tried to watch this. We made it through 6 episodes a couple of years ago but only made it through 4 episodes this time. It is just so very slow, so slow that it makes Downton Abbey look an action and…

Feb. 2023. I am watching this movie a second time. I am enjoying it very much.
Excellent series. John Lithgow is wonderful as Churchill. What a difficult time that was and how things have changed!

Interesting to watch but remember this kind of presentation of history isn't necessarily completely factual and can really bias your perception of personalities and historical events. For example the London smog event was real but from…

I just could not get into this, I have seen other films that are way better. Acelebration of a bunch of boring people who oppress others to get their wealth just didn't do it for me. Boring!

High-quality production of Queen Elizabeth's acension to the throne at the young age of 25. Does a very good job of showing her intimate relationships--including her husband's difficult adjustment to his role as consort, not independent…
I love Netflix’s historical drama The Crown starring actors Claire Foy as Queen Elizabeth II and Matt Smith as Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh. It is very educational and the acting was excellent. In the first episode of season one, we…

I'm not a Royalist & generally keep my personal opinions to myself, especially while in the UK. That said - despite my lack of any great interest, other than historical significance, I was drawn into this story. IMO the acting was…

Its amazing to see the past brought to life. A beautiful and thrilling series. The companion book is excellent too with more details and great photos - both from the series and the actual historical events. Enjoy!

I’m not a royalist in the least — the opposite really — but this is a mesmerizing probe of underbelly of the monarchy. It’s the war between duty and humanity, stricture and sentiment; the grotesque insensitivity and suffering inflicted…
