    Does anyone find it strange that the TV series The Crown is all a bunch of BS? For example, we all know that Vladimir Putin specifically said that when he was in London the queen showed to him in order to show her dominance projected some type of reptile appearance. On top of all of that Princess Diana said to her Ghost Rider there was something he should know that we change the whole face of the world Reno now that they eat babies to stay young and they may be reptiles we all have to take a step back and realize that boogeyman does exist. There are things that we can't comprehend and things that we can still try to comprehend if we open our minds I hope everyone does this.

    As I am not English, it is hard for me to say whether this show is really realistic but it depicts a couple that, apart from the glamour given to the Crown, has its difficulties. The next seasons are ongoing.

    My review isn't an account of, how dare she say - "Or they might get silly ideas of getting independence," or fume over Prince Philip's family's association with the Nazi or Winston Churchill's policies and outlook towards the commonwealth. These are all events in history. They did happen. They haven't embellished or sugar coated it and have in several episodes "quoted" every historically accurate verbal discourse of various views on varying topics of the common wealth. As long as one remembers that these are all events from the "Past" and not how the world is today, we can actually praise the makers of the show for the portrayal of the Crown.Claire Foy has done a stellar job of portraying the young princess who marries Duke of Edinburgh at 21. For us born in the 80's, we've only seen the "grey queen" with no smile on her face. Seeing Claire Foy on screen, I had to remind myself that the Queen was once young and like you and I, had absolutely(well not entirely) no worries. The moment King George VI takes ill and things gradually fall on her shoulders we see her becoming the Queen.As a Head of the State she has done a LOT of unconventional things. She isn't as narrow minded as I thought and she has spirit and spunk.As Season 1 of the series came to a close and Season 2 began we see how the media covered her personal life and on the other hand when Churchill is more worried about Prince Philip flying instead of the crisis at hand we see how cunningly Winston Churchill turned the entire event in his favour whilst using the press as his pawn.The Queen triumphs in Ghana and manages to steer them from Russia and it is reported all over the world, thanks to the press. In the very same episode we see Jackie Kennedy's clothes stained with her husband's blood and we hear the queen gasp and say, "That is deliberate." I don't know if it is just me or if others noticed the gradual progress of how aggressive the journalists become. I believe it is something to look forward to as seasons 3 and 4 will have the Queen dealing with Margaret Thatcher and Princess Diana.I can't wait for the new season!My rating: 4.2/5 Recommend: If you love history but aren't into reading, watch this series. If you love history and love reading, join me in tsk-ing every time a certain bit is exaggerated.
