The Crown - Netflix

Has anyone been watching this Netflix series?

I've never been much of a Royal although I do like the queen and William and loved Diana but I decided to watch this as I heard it was good.
I'm really enjoying it, I've binge watched 3 episodes this afternoon and I'm hooked, it's excellent.

I've never really been struck on Prince Philip, but their marriage must have been and be so strong to survive and I admire him for sticking with the Queen. It must have been hard for the Queen to have been crowned at such a young age, I think she has done the Royal Family so proud and I have a lot of respect for her.

I'm sure she would have preferred to have had a private life but she was born into the Royals and she graciously took on the role. Had Edward not abdicated she wouldn't have been Queen, I never knew the Queen Mother couldn't forgive Edward as she felt her husband wouldn't have died at such a young age had he not have become king, I think Queen Mother felt the pressure of being King took her husband well before time.

Excellent, excellent, compulsive viewing. I can't wait until the bit with charles and Diana comes into it.

I cried when Lord Mountbatten died in the series, very good acting indeed.

I like the naughty Princess Margaret too, she was such a character.

ooooo I can;t wait, I'm going to binge watch some more tomorrow. I haven't been engrossed in a series like I am this for a long time, in fact, I don't really watch much TV but this is riveting.

I had season three on DVD for one of my Christmas presents.

We haven't got Netflix so I'm a year behind.

I loved series one & two and can't wait to start viewing Series three.

I have watched a few of these episodes and have found them mildly enjoyable although they have done nothing to lessen the utter hatred and contempt I feel for all of them.
Some of the casting seems a bit odd but Matt Smith's Prince Philip was an excellent fit.

LQ I love it too and I've watched the whole lot twice . It gets even better. I think the actress who plays princess Anne is excellent.

Enjoy and dont feel guilty sitting watching , I did 6 episodes in 1 day 😁

Re: The Crown - Netflix

I agree. I also thought the actor who played Churchill was brilliant.
