The third series of The Crown is so far the most disappointing. Although most viewers seem to agree, the ratings for single episodes are suspiciously high. So far, I liked episode 2 the best, even if Bonham Carter doesn't look anything like Margaret and I find her miscast.
At least there was some fun in that episode, which is sorely missing in most others. Maybe because the events depicted are generally tragic, minor or plainly boring.
This one, for a non-British citizen, is outstandingly boring. Apart from the fact that I was not aware of Welsh nationalists being as fierce as the Scottish, I found zero interest in Charles being shipped to Wales to learn some of the language and in the queen being so dismissive and uninterested in him.
The second point could have been gathered a long time ago by any observant viewer. Did anything in the previous episodes suggest a warm and affectionate relationship between Elizabeth and Charles? Or between Philip and Charles? The only person in his family Charles seems to connect with is his sister.
Apart from that, the whining of the Welsh about their past glories wasps useless as every single "minority" on planet Earth thinking they would have had it better without any neighbours invading them. Which is strongly debatable and anyway did not happen.
