The Crown


 This is a controversial series, but it shows in an informative, and moving way, the life of a woman who hasn’t changed history, but nudged it along. It is easy to get frustrated with some aspects of the series, sometimes the actors feel like caricatures of real people...but sometimes it is quite moving. The scenes between Phillip and Charles are often telling. I like that they used a different cast for different parts of Elizabeth’s life, rather than putting people in make-up. The series doesn’t shy away from the pathos and absurdity of the most powerful women in the world who is also trapped in her position and values.
