Perhaps Season 4 with its uncanny resemblances to real-life faces and mannerisms spoiled me. None the less, Season 5 has been a disappointment, now having achieved the status of an expensive soap opera.
Characters seem to be caricatures of themselves. A frumpy Queen. A grumpy Philip. An unconvincing portrayal of Princess Diana that quickly wears out as she overuses casting her head down and peeking upward through her bangs. Poor Charles... so misunderstood. An entire episode chiefly about the Al Fayed family seems like filler.
After anticipating Season 5 with high hopes and always hoping for some sort of closure at the end of a season, I now see S5 spills over to a Season 6. Will it never end?
