I can understand the reviews of "boring" or "disappointing", but I think they fail to grasp the message of the episode. Set aside the individuals and you have a wonderful message/lesson for all to learn from. The Duke of Edinburgh demonstrates that regardless of who we are, we all find ourselves in a rut and that by realising what truly defines us as individuals, is what helps to overcome it. For me this was really epitomised when upon meeting Neil Armstrong etc. the Duke realises they're somewhat mundane and self reflection is perhaps not something acquired until later in life. Overall superb writing for those who want something a little different from The Crowns usual theme.
