Anybody watching The Crown on Netflix?

[avebury]

I just finished binge watching it and really enjoyed it. The background music was superb, the sets/scenery was great and it has an overall great cast. Matt Smith (whom I had only ever seen before in Dr. Who) was great as Prince Phiip. Jared Harris was superb as King George VI. John Lithgow plays a Winston Churchill desparate to stay in power, sometimes as the risk of the country. It shows how ill prepared Elizabeth was when she became Queen. I look forward to Season 2.

1. Didn't know about it, but sounds good. I get caught up on all the netflx shows during

the holiday season when all the shows on network tv go on fall/winter hiatus

British history, esp. about the Crown, is right up my alley!

5. The soundtrack

If anyone's interested, the soundtrack is available via Amazon (and probably other outlets too). The music really adds to the atmosphere of the series, I'm loving the show so far.

6. Yes, it is superb!

Very lavish depiction of both crown and the political arenas. Some magnificent acting with Jared Harris stealing the show for me as King George VI.

I'm 6 episodes in, and am finding both Anthony Eden and the Duke of Windsor to be infuriating. Not looking forward to Eden taking over from John Lithgow's Winston Churchill.
