I found out a lot about the royal family, some which I would have never expected about them. While some episodes are quite boring, they also have great ones with intriguing storyline. Overall, it's one of the best Netflix shows.

The drama, the character development, the truthfulness. Easily the best film/series adaptation of the Royal family. Totally changed my view of the Queen.

Season 4 of The Crown is without a doubt quality television, but not up to the standard of Seasons 1 and 2, in my opinion.

Strong and interesting drama focused on the royal family during the earlier years of elizabeths reign. Also highlights a lot of key political and relevant incidents from the time including a few that were lesser known.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The Crown to say the least is a great Tv series and a must watch. First of all the acting is mostly spot on and it certainly adds to the show. Second of all the realism is 90-95% accurate and it made me find out a lot of things about the Royal family. Whoever wrote this should be given a raise for sure because in every scene where the stakes were high I felt the tension. But one big plus I would say is that it made me love and despise a couple of members of the Royal family and the final point is the QUEEN! This series made me love the Queen and it depicts her so accurately. Overall, one of the best series on Netflix BY FAR.… Expand

I remember their Australian tour vividly and wondered why my English father was so anti-Thatcher and Falklands war. Now with 40 more years life experience under my belt, and a staunch Australian republican working with people living with eating disorders, I felt The Crown indulged my childhood fantasies. More surprisingly the drama balanced pragmatically the personal challenges and sociocultural divides of the 1980s. As always the sets and costumes are sumptuous escapism. The acting is uncanny in parts, especially Gillian Anderson, Emma Corrin, and Josh O’Connor. I personally would’ve also like more of Prince Andrew and Sarah Ferguson’s tale as the characterisation really does lead to empathy with this well-privileged tribe. I also think that the Australian film industry is mature enough for the royal tour to be shot here rather than Spain- the landscape did not match! Also kudos to Richard Roxborough’s performance of Bob Hawke.
All in all if you can suspend belief in 100% historical accuracy, this show continues to deliver intelligent magic.… Expand

La temporada 4 está dominada por la presencia en la política británica de Margaret Thatcher como Primera Ministra y de Lady Diana Spencer como consorte del Príncipe Carlos.

Los capítulos siguen manteniendo una relativa independencia,La temporada 4 está dominada por la presencia en la política británica de Margaret Thatcher como Primera Ministra y de Lady Diana Spencer como consorte del Príncipe Carlos.

Los capítulos siguen manteniendo una relativa independencia, centrándose cada uno en algún evento histórico y a veces familiar pero nunca olvidando la dimensión política. Los diálogos afilados y concisos, a veces de una dureza extrema, los gestos, siguen maravillando al espectador. La puesta en escena continúa siendo deslumbrante, con algunas innovaciones formales que no conviene revelar.

Dada la presencia de Lady Di, las historias de la familia real están más presentes que en la T3, pero siempre atravesadas por la razón de Estado, manteniendo con esa amalgama casi indisoluble (en la realidad y en la ficción) una de las mayores virtudes de la serie y su visión de la monarquía.

Sabemos que dentro The Crown, las audiencias de la Reina con sus Primeros Ministros son un tópico aparte y constituyen siempre momentos culminantes. Y cabe decir que los que mantienen Isabel II y Thatcher son antológicos.

La composición de la Dama de Hierro que hace Gillian Anderson es algo discutible: por momentos, bordea la caricatura y parecería que la serie no terminara de definir una imagen del personaje, desde qué punto de vista se ubica para pintarlo. De todos modos, logra momentos conmovedores (debemos admitir que es cierto que hasta los monstruos tienen rincones entrañables) y los guionistas no se lavan las manos respecto de su nefasta política neoconservadora (aunque sin abundar mucho en ella) y dejan bien clara su precursora postura meritocrática. A algunos puede no gustarles el tratamiento que la serie le da a la Guerra de Malvinas, pero considero que la trascendencia que le otorga la serie es la que le dieron los británicos en su momento. En cuanto a la descripción de la relación de Carlos (un excelente Josh O'Connor) y la Casa Real con Lady Di es sorprendentemente franca. Emma Corrin resulta una verdadera revelación, dotando a su personaje de muchas facetas, que van desde la ingenuidad y la fragilidad hasta lo encantador o exasperante.

Helena Bonham-Carter vuelve a lucirse como la Princesa Margarita y Olivia Colman vuelve a maravillar con su impresionante economía de recursos. Definitivamente una Reina que impone su presencia en todas las escenas.

En suma, esta temporada de The Crown mantiene su nivel de excelencia, inteligencia y profundidad (con algunos capítulos antológicos), con su siempre aceitada, nada complaciente y siempre interesante integración entre drama, política y razón de Estado, con una Olivia Colman que cautiva con su economía de recursos, con la presencia de dos personajes de primer nivel, a cargo de una Gillian Anderson que nos brinda una Margaret Thatcher a veces discutible y una Emma Corrin muy convincente como Lady Di y con una puesta en escena sofisticada y suntuosa que vuelve a asombrar, todos factores que ubican sin dudas a esta serie entre lo mejor de las ficciones contemporáneas.

Y un consejo final: no se la devoren, disfrútenla de a poco, como un buen vino.… Expand

Love Imelda Staunton but her portrayal of the Queen reduced the monarch to a petulant, slightly dim, and clueless woman who was occasionally petty. The new versions of Charles and Philip are not as off-putting but the previous actors were much better. One nice moment was Charles advocating for the line of succession to include female members of the family....and Anne's look at him was great!

They have managed to be almost impartial in how they haveThe series does cover some of the very fractious and delicate things affecting the Monarchy, they have not shied away from some of the rather more serious aspects of this period. They have managed to be almost impartial in how they have portrayed evryone, nobody has come out of the events looking good. One of the disappointing aspects was how the Queen was made to be passive, self deprecating and cluelessly inept. While I would not criticise Emelda Staunton, who has possibly had the most difficult incarnation of Her Majesty, in that she has taken the part which still is well within memory and still talked about. The writers could have done far better in the portrayal of the Queen. This script and writing did leave it appearing sad and lacking on characterisation and content. It could have been far better than it was.

The other characters were also largely quite disappointing. They appeared to be flat an not as committed to their screen personas as previous actors. There was little to find them to be believable or convincing. The general areas covered were done generally poorly and felt a little 2 dimensional. The fifth season was so far the most disappointing of them all so far, there was very little emotion in any of the aspects of the behind the doors that in any previous seasons. They only real emotion that was apparent was in the final episode which rather than the disintegration of her family and the illusion of values and the divinity of the Monarchy it was around the decommissioning of the Royal Yacht!

Generally this was the least impressive season which has largely left the whole thing looking like a sad portrayal of the Royals. This however may be due to timing following the Platinum jubilee and the death of the late Queen and the pagentry, pomp and spectacle that this displayed. We have recently been given the glory and Majesty of the crown. To be followed by a flat and poor season of the crown. While it was watchable it was not to the standard of previous season.… Expand
