it's partly that Victoria's character is much more fun (thus in Jenna vs Claire, Jenna will win). And The Crown is actually too recent - I mean they're both fucking alive for God's sake!
And - it's just a little bit dull, isn't it?
Creator / writer is Peter Morgan.
Full of recognisable people we can't put a name to.
Big budget? Lots of green screen, I'll bet.
Picks up a bit with Margaret (Vanessa Kirby) story about photographer Matthew Goode (she's a much more interesting character than Elizabeth) and episode involving royal critic John Heffernan, who's rather good.
Shocking story of Edward's involvement with Hitler doesn't conclude properly, Charles at Gordonstoun vs. Philip there, Queen doesn't tell Margaret about her husband-to-be's infidelities...
Claire Foy has some great expressions, plays the Q well. Matt also good in less likeable role. With Victoria Hamilton, Alex Jennings, Anton Lesser, Jeremy Northam, Pip Torrens, Greg Wise. Sylvestra Le Touzel..
Shot by Adriano Goldman and others, directed by Philip Martin, Benjamin Caron, Stephen Daldry. Suffers from scenes which are supposed to be big in drama or emotion with tons of music over them.
