Anybody else watching "The Crown" on Netflix?

I've watched the first couple of episodes, and I'm blown away by it---writing, acting, cinematography, production values: all top-drawer. Highly recommended, particularly as an offset to the tawdry politics we've been burdened by, this time around. Enjoy.

1. Do you mean 'The Crown'? starring Claire Foy?

That's what it's called on Netflix here. If so, I've just binge-watched the whole thing and finished it. It was totally excellent viewing. There was a real thing about not letting Windsors marry who they loved. I think the most sympathetic character in it was King Edward, who basically told them all to get stuffed, abdicated, and went and married the woman he loved.

2. Mistake corrected. Thanks. (nt)

5. Really? I thought Edward was the most detestible character in the show.

Don't forget, after he told them all to get stuffed, abdicated, and went and married the woman he loved, he became a Nazi sympathizer, and otherwise wasted his life away.

3. Yes, we loved it, too! I'm looking forward to Season 2!

I'm looking for an Emmy nom (and maybe even win) for John Lithgow's portrayal of Churchill. That was outstanding!
