The Crown: Ipatiev House (2022)
Episode 6, Season 5
Fell flat

This historicizing episode fell a little flat, it can't live up to the one revealing the Duke of Windsor's collaboration with the Nazis. There are historical inaccuracies. Besides, the British monarchy had no exclusive obligation to take in the Tzar family. Queen Victoria was the grandmother of half of Europe, her descendants sat on most European thrones - and none of them wanted to accept the Tsar, not even neutral Scandinavia - Nikolai's mother was Danish, and she already found a shelter there. The Russian regime was too pronounced to be autocratic, and monarchies, proud of their modernity, did not want to look bad in the eyes of their subjects.
