The Crown Fails To Sparkle

[naomi24]

The first four episodes of the final series of Netflix's The Crown have been given the thumbs down by most critics.

I'll watch it as I don't really care what critics think, though I do wonder if it's going to come so far up to date that it could be a bit uncomfortable.

If you haven't already seen it, Bosch is good, Bednobs.

I didnt think it was too bad. Prince Chazza LOOKS like the real thing. Di overdoes her Di cutesy look - looking up with bowed head. Andie is a jerk but not yet a child molester, 

Chazza is made to say things like - "the monarchy  is a social construct and depenes solely on the approval of the tax paying subjects"

and the monarchy changes and adapts - and MUST do, if it is to survive

blimey fancy asking the queen because she is there, if you can leave the room and fetch a cuppa?

I thought Di as spectre was OK ( crits hated it) - 50% of Brits hear their dead relatives, but in that she was a little too independent.

I thought the Di and Dodi bit was OK - and a novel twist that the two were lying to each other. - and then Di lies to her kids... all part of having to sell a series to the world
