I'm finding it fascinating. The performances are wonderful. Claire Foy won two Emmys for portraying the Queen - she was splendid. John Lithgow won one as Winston Churchill - completely unrecognizable as himself. Gillian Anderson as Margaret Thatcher was great (also unrecognizable as herself). Olivia Colman as the Queen is fantastic. Excellent performances across the board.

1. A little, we liked but there are so many shows on Netflix it's hard to keep up. I'd like to go back

and revisit. We liked it too.

3. Yes. I am glad you are liking it. The acting and scenery was splendid. I warched when it first came

out, Not a royal watcher, but loved the series.

4. Excellent series - the Brits have the best actors/actresses and I love

the history of the Royal Family.

9. the Brits also have the best detective shows

Unforgotten (four seasons: do not watch season four until you've watched one through three!)
Scott & Bailey
Happy Valley
Broadchurch
Shetland

So many more.

One of my favorite actresses, Nicola Walker, leads Unforgotten and has a part in season three of Scott & Bailey (I think she appears in four episodes). Her role in Scott & Bailey is exceptionally well-acted. The best actors/actresses, indeed.

11. I also liked her a lot in MI-5

5. I hesitate to watch king and queen sagas

I feel like the powers that be are trying to soften me up for a king, queen or just a dicktater in the US. So, when I watch, anything positive about a royal I have to question it. Is this propaganda or did this really happen this way. Luckily most historical King and Queen sagas don't have a lot of good things to say about feudalism.

It was one of the reasons it took me so long to watch Game of Thrones (Besides recognizing the story line from a science fiction magazine.) Luckily for me if it's fantasy, it doesn't bother me as much. Beware we may get fire breathing dragons. Oh yeah........

7. Love it and can't wait til next season

Interesting how all the actors cast as King Charles are way better looking than the real thing.

10. Re King Charles:

Right?! And so far (I'm only in season three) everyone who's portrayed him has been exceptional.

13. Victoria w/ Jenna Coleman introduced me to wonderful actor as well as

I went in with low expectations and had my socks blown off. We're making our way down our To Watch List to The Crown and will prolly get there about August or Sept. with our schedules. The two critics I read (haven't let me down yet) recommend it, so we'll get there.
