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.
Steel Jacket nails it. I watched the first season of the crown amd thought why all the focus on their fabricated personal lives. It was a waste of time.
If you want interesting entertainment from the Brits, watch the doc Martin series. Interesting, funny, and sad in parts.
