Tried to watch Crown. It’s a really bad soap opera with people whose charisma, charm and intellect rate a 5.

Too bad Churchill died. Nothing else could save this turkey.

Boooooring.

I was okay with “The Crown” until it became little more than an ermine-draped soap opera. Okay, so Elizabeth and Philip had marriage problems. Not much of a surprise, I don’t suppose. But I’m a lot less interested in the cheesy tabloid scandals than I am in the historical context, and unfortunately, the former gets 90 percent of the attention. The history is just a backdrop.

The second season of The Crown was much better. But Peggy's right. The portrayals of MacMillan and JFK are mostly fiction. Also, there is no historical evidence Prince Phillip ever cheated on her.

We enjoyed the series. Hollywood also injects some, well, Hollywood, into its productions.
