The first 4 seasons were spectacular. I was enthralled and recommended the show to everyone I know. The backdrop, the locations, the costumes, the characters, the acting all superb. But this anxiously awaited season 5 is so dramatically different. There are ridiculous situations, poor story development, cheapened sets. It's almost hard to watch. All the characters are unhappy and angry. Queen Elizabeth can apparently do nothing right. Diana seems very shallow and vindictive. A full episode dedicated to the Fayed story was WAY too long and boring. We never did learn how the family got their money and we learned practically nothing about Dodi, we saw a story mostly about his father. Don't waste your time.
