    I was expecting more story. The visuals are spectacular. The acting is right up there with the best of shows. I honestly thought that I'd learn something about Elizabeth but, I didn't. It seems to me, to be such a huge waste of money because we're not told anything new about her. It's as though they went through every single gossip column and pasted together a story.

    BO-RING!

    Uber-rich people having minor problems that are taken care of by other people. Looks nice. Smartly written. Set design is fabulous. What about all the colonialism and the way she treated the Irish? QE is a nothing, she's where she is because of some bloodline that traces back to medieval monsters.

    The show, in its best moments, is a perfect mix of pristine elegance and soap opera schlock, all while finding ways to string along its bingeing Netflix subjects through to the next slowly unfurling royal crisis.

    The Crown struggles at times, but there’s something within it — a slumbering beast, deep beneath its waves, just waiting to surface. You catch glimpses of it here and there--when Elizabeth betrays someone in the name of the crown, especially--and those glimpses are enough to animate this first season.

    Like the subject it so lovingly examines, The Crown feels like an antique to be admired, even if its greater purpose becomes less clear with each passing hour.
