The Crown- worth watching?

[GeorgieTheGorgeousGoat]

Just found it on Netflix and heard lots of people say they watch it.

Any good?

Yes, addictive, if you are interested in the Royals/recent U.K. social history....

Loved it.

Yes, love the Royals!

Yes

Don't like period dramas. Not interested in the Royals. Hate soaps and don't watch any TV just occasional box sets but LOVED just LOVED The Crown. I actually admire some of the royal family after watching it, especially Prince Philip who has had an amazing and tragic childhood.
Well worth a watch.

Yes, yes, yes

Absolutely yes! ''Tis brilliant.

Really good.

Defo worth it!

I really enjoyed it.

I’ve just started watching OP. Now on episode 3 and I absolutely love it. Love the history and politics (my degree subjects).

Yes! It's great and beautifully shot. Well worth a watch.

I love it!

It's fab. Not always happy, but brilliant. The episode with Churchill's portrait was a stand - out for me.

So good. Cannot wait for the next series

I’m not interested in the royal family but love£ it for the politics.

yes, I am no royalist, but really found it fascinating

as pp said Phillip had an awful childhood, and they do the "how fab to be Queen and how awful to be Queen" balance really well

I did wish it could have been a little more....involved...??? less superficial ?? maybe, but I guess they have 70odd years to squeeze in and too much would mean almost real time filming iyswim

It is very easy to watch and lots to look at.

Bloody amazing can't wait for series 3 even with the cast changes

Princess Margaret actress was brilliant and Matt smith in season 2 was so distant and sad and conflicted loved loved loved it

Yes it's not all wafting Royals. The politics is fascinating to. Agree its made me like the Royals more. I have a soft spot for Philip too even though I know he's not really Matt Smith

I might be on my third rewatch. I love it that much.

yes...he was in a rock and a hard place wasn't he, they got that over so well

also love Margaret, just the right amount of brattish Princess

Wonder who is going to be her, when Olivia is Queen?

Helena Bonham Carter will play Margaret in the next series. Can't wait!

All the phlegmy coughing is making me gag

Don’t worry, he’ll cark it soon.

(Obviously not a spoiler )

I didn’t think it would be my thing, but it loved it. It’s beautifully done.

Yes enjoying it so far!
