Netflix' s THE CROWN
I was surprised at how much I enjoyed this series. Its not soapy or trashy or scandalizing.
It's a solid engaging drama that treats the monarchy with sympathy and respect while still feeling balanced.
Claire Foy is remarkable as Elizabeth. Matt Smith is also excellent.
The entire cast is strong with one exception.
John Lithgow.
Completely miscast. His performance is good (he is a fantastic actor) but I never believed him to be Churchill for an instant. He was Lithgow playing Churchill. And his costuming makes him look like Igor from a Frankenstein movie lol.
Otherwise, a captivating drama and I look forward to another season.
