Not sure what series you are watching atm but the Aberfan episode is so moving.
Agree, excellent series.
I've been giving it a wide birth because I'm also anti-royalist. But it's getting great reviews and I'm at the bottom of the barrel. I watched The Queens Gambit in two nights, then I started the Leah Remini Scientology doc. Not really feeling it. I can see myself starting The Crown tomorrow night. Maybe even tonight. There's (American) football on, but I'm not interested today, I barely even watched the real football.Quote:

I personally take fact over fiction any day.
With the new season coming up my wife has pursuaded me to watch it from the beginning ng and I have to admit i am liking what I see. Needed something new to watch after enjoying the Queens Gambit and the three seasons of Fargo which I thought were both brilliant.
I ended up feeling sorry for prince Charles by the end
I didn't want to watch it but the wife was keen. I must admit I enjoyed it.
now I'm definitely not watching itQuote:

I'm not sure there will be many surprises and probably not that much intrigue but the relationships between the royals and, for example, the Queen and various party leaders is interesting.
Can't say I was bowled over by the early seasons but the one with Olivia Coleman playing the Queen is really good.
Its not like you need to follow it all from the start so if you are bored then jump to this season, 5 I think.
Brilliant drama , I find the queens roles astonishing both in this series and in real life itself through the decades of change,crisis ,her appeal to many millions is quite something.
Best soap opera I’ve seen and all basically true. All 3 series so far have been excellent and filled in a few gaps in my knowledge of the royal family. Many first class performances, Matt Smith is excellent as the appalling Duke of Edinburgh. Top quality stuff.
I suppose it depends on your general knowledge but I'm not sure you are going to find any surprises. I am by no means an expert but as far as I can tell each episode is based on a well known event. I quite like it, it is sort-of a dramatisation of the main events in British twentieth century history from the perspective of the Royal family.Quote:

Claire Foy in my opinion was very goodQuote:
