The Crown (1-4) was truly excellent. A brilliantly casted, written set of episodes, dipping into the many historical segments that have fashioned the monarchy to where it is today. What makes The Crown so appealing is the casting and acting. But, Series 5 is such a disappointment. Over-acted, badly characterised, tooth-pulling episodes that lose the once excellent sparkle it had. There are moments of excellence. John Major, The Queen in particular are outstanding. But, there are too many 'lame' representations' and storylines that drag on. Let's hope Series 6 gets back to the recipe The Crown once had and the sparkle can return.
