Thoughts on The Crown? I haven't had Netflix in a few years but I'm thinking of getting it for a month mainly to watch The Crown as it looks like something I'd be able to get into and I'm a Jared Harris fanboy.
Incredible series. I don't think I've ever seen a TV/Streaming series with better production value, and the acting, pacing, drama, tension, and historical call-backs are all top notch. There are a handful of episodes that I would rate as among the absolute highest quality and I don't think there has been a single bad episode yet.
Keep in mind I had NO interest in this show until my fiancee put on an episode from season 3 that I happened to watch with her. After it finished she decided to start over from the beginning so we could watch together. Prior to the show I had no interest in the Royal Family, but this show completely pulled me in.
Season 3 is incredible - the two Wales episode are just fantastic. The Aberfan one is haunting and beautiful based on a real life tragedy, and the boarding school episode really makes you feel like you're in the late 60s (which, mind you, was several decades before I was born).
Highly recommended.
