Beginning Season Two of The Crown

The Crown season two is a continuation of the story of Elizabeth II and Philip. So far its a lot grittier and hard-nosed as life gets more complicated for these two. In the beginning of the series she tends to affairs at home while he is on tour to getting to see the world and representing England to open the Olympics in Australia. There are other situations around the world that is impacting life in the United Kingdom.

I am enjoying this very much for the quality of acting by Claire Foy and Matt Smith. One sad thing I learned recently is that Foy was paid less thanSmith by Netflix and she is the lead in this series. Very troubling.

The Crown – Terrific Television, Royally Awesome

I am late to the party on this one but “The Crown” is royally awesome. Claire Foy plays Queen Elizabeth II to perfection and Doctor Who’s Matt Smith plays Prince Philip masterfully. John Lithgow portrays Winston Churchill in such a prime way. So far I am mid-way through and every moment is terrific. I highly recommend this on Netflix.
