    Summary

    Reviewers say 'The Crown' is acclaimed for its high production values, detailed costumes, and strong performances, especially in earlier seasons. It humanizes historical figures and delves into royal family struggles, with meticulous historical accuracy. However, it faces criticism for historical inaccuracies, casting changes, and perceived biases. Later seasons receive mixed reviews for over-dramatization, weaker scripts, and miscasting. Despite these issues, many consider it a major achievement in TV drama.

    Brilliant

    What can I say about The Crown that hasn't already been said? It's incredible! There are some that don't like it because they take some liberties with the story but overall it's pretty accurate, especially the first few seasons. You can tell the amount of effort they put into this show from everything from the writing, acting, cinematography, production, etc. All being as good as it gets for a television show. It chronicles the life of Queen Elizabeth II and the royal family from the 1940's to modern times. It gives you an inside look at the personal lives of the royal family including their romances and political rivalries. There's a reason this show has won so many awards and that's because it's brilliant!

    Brilliant!

    The Crown is simply a brilliant piece of television. It's one of the most expensive shows ever made and you can tell because the production and attention to detail is amazing. I originally put off watching this because I thought it was a show aimed from women but I couldn't have been more wrong. It is for everyone! Even when they changed the main characters in Season 3 because of the time jump it didn't lose a beat. Both Claire Foy and Olivia Colman both lead amazing casts who all deserve all the praise this show gets!

    Acting at its finest

    Where to start is very difficult when it comes to what I can only describe as an amazing feat of production and acting. The cast are absolutely outstanding and are nothing but professional.

    You can tell a lot of effort has been put into the research and accuracy of the story line. The attention to detail also has to be credited.

    I can't find a fault and believe me I've tried. Having watched previous biopics/Dramas regarding royalty I will have to put this at the Top and that is including The Queen which again I would rate at 10/10.

    In summery a must watch if you are looking for a great piece of production and a stimulating story line. I would recommend this to anyone.

    Brilliant

    I have to be honest. I had refused to watch this show from the moment it was released. Being no fan of monarchies in general, or of the House of Windsor in particular, I wrongly failed to see the potential.

    But history always is interesting, especially when left in the hands of able writers and an absolutely spectacular cast. To a person, word for spoken word, I was drawn into this series headlong and found myself taken by this expertly crafted story.

    I love that the flaws and tensions that existed are exposed and leveraged. And I find myself reaching for the shelf and pulling out a book or two to refamiliarize myself with some event.

    In short it won me over and taught me a lesson or two in the process. What more can one ask?

    A fantastic portrayal of British Royal history

    The Crown is one of the fascinating dramas I have watched in very recent of times. First off, the show itself is a bit slow paced but nevertheless, it generates enough amount of suspense over the episodes. The Crown may lack the twist and turning of events than many other historical dramas, but the flawless direction and impeccable acting of its actors do not allow its audiences get disappointed. Secondly, the grandeur of the show is something of a treat to the sore eyes. Netflix has not been so frugal in the making of the show and it has paid them off every penny. The costume and the furnishing of the show within are scintillating. Lastly, this show is a great history lesson for all the viewers, particularly the ones who are of younger generations. It is mostly based on true events, so that is indeed a stand-out fact of the show. Though there were some moments where it seemed a little bit exaggerated but considering its genre as a TV series, that is reasonable. The Crown has allowed its viewers to peek what lies behind the royal curtains and taught a significant truth that a royal born doesn't necessarily get to evade all the personal tribulations that all the other commoners go through. They share just as same values as the other citizens of the country.

    • Trivia
      Queen Elizabeth II had blue eyes, like her first portrayer Claire Foy. After Olivia Colman was cast as Elizabeth she was tested with blue contact lenses over her brown eyes, but it was decided they negatively affected her performance. Changing her eye color in postproduction was also tested, but according to the producers "it didn't feel like her. CGI-ing her eyes seemed to diminish what she was doing". Eventually it was decided to accept the continuity error.
    • Goofs
      Throughout the series, various vehicles are seen to enter Buckingham Palace from the Mall entrance, where it can be seen that the road outside and inner courtyard are covered by black tarmac.

      However, since the 1950's at least, the surface of the Mall and courtyard have actually been coloured red, using a synthetic iron oxide pigment.
