The 6 seasons of THE CROWN began strong to rave reviews. I, too, was swept up in the enthusiasm as my review at the end of Season 2 bears witness - “Another superb season of THE CROWN - superb acting, drama and production. A really well written docudrama featuring the highs and low of our Queen's reign amid the sweep of world history. Must watch TV, available on Netflix. Unsurprisingly, I give it a 10 (superb) out of 10.”. However, as the events reflected times I had witnessed, from afar, in my lifetime, I became sceptical of the fictionalized history, almost resenting the narrative they were creating around sensitive issues within the royal household. In the fourth season, I began to lose interest in the fiction and I no longer waited with anticipation for new seasons. The casting and acting were still superb, but the perspectives the story took left me feeling like we were intruding on the royal family. So, as I finished watching the series finale, today, (despite a creative and moving final episode), my rating for the last seasons had fallen to a 6 (disappointing). I give the whole series an 8 (brilliant in part) out of 10. [Fictionalized Historical Drama
