So, who is watching The Crown?  Is it just me, or does the writer of this series hate Prince Philip?  He's made out to be a petulant *******.  

 

And can you have spoilers on a show that is supposed to be historically based?

It's a Netflix original. It's a dramatization of the Queen's reign.

I just bought the first season of the crown, you can get the dvd set. I'm so excited to watch it. I believe Prince Philip has a reputation of being stern and boorish, but who really knows and from what I read the queen really loves him.

There are two seasons of it and I binge watched both. It is really good!

Another good one on Netflix is "Reign" about Mary Queen of Scots reign. Also binge worthy!

 I started that one, but it takes a little bit too much liberty with history for me!

Yes, that may be true but I still found it gripping. I finished it last night and was disappointed that it was over. :( Now whatever will I watch? *sigh*

 I wouldn't take the show as fact.  But it's quite possible.

I love Victoria, I enjoy the books by Philippa Gregory but I Google up the Queens she writes about to learn more about them.

I really enjoyed Reign. I just wish it hadn't got cancelled. It had years of story left.

The Tudors is another good one. Tends to speed through some parts, but still a good watch. A bit gruesome at times.

Been thinking of starting The Crown.

Probably will after I finish Fuller House.

I know, I know. But it's good to watch something that isn't all sex and violence. Not that there's any wrong with sex and violence.

I started The Tudors last night. This one has far more sex and nudity, which I'm not keen on, than Reign did. I'm sorry Reign got cancelled as well. I would've enjoyed more of it.

I remember watching Full House years ago. I just can't seem to get into Fuller House.

 Yeah, I like to watch something that I don't have to worry if the kids walk into the room.  I started The Tudors, but it basically seemed like soft porn.

The Tudors was good but they could have left out the sex scenes. I tvod, them so I could fast forward the scenes.

I agree. It seems at least 50% of the show focuses on sex and nudity. Not sure I'll continue watching.  Hopefully I can find something else to catch my eye.

Yeah, there was a lot of sex in Tudors. But then again, Henry was a horndog and he did have syphilis.

So tell me, when watching Reign, how quickly did you realize Queen Catherine was Anne of Green Gables?

Took me a minute, but man, she killed that role.

I think I liked Catherine more than the rest of them.

Queen Catherine? The french queen? We just started watching this show.

I think for some reason DH thought it was the actress who played Mrs. Peel. Or I might be thinking of another show we watch. They all tend to run together after awhile.

I loved The Crown. I watched both seasons as soon as they came out. It's really fascinating and has taught me a lot about the monarchy. I love Netflix. Some of their shows are very educational. Narcos was a good one also. I had no idea all that was going on back when I was in high school. I had no clue who Pablo Escobar was. Now I do. lol!

 Yes! It took me an episode or two to figure out who she is.

She steals the show. Love her quirkiness and banter.
