I continue to be blown away by this poignant, elegant, exceptionally emotional, and gorgeous drama series. Season 4 was full to the brim with tension and showed Queen Elizabeth at her most stubborn, competitive, and disconnected. The writers of this series truly know how to show each member of the royal family as the complex, troubled, confusing, and often lost human beings they are. And how all the rules and duties of monarchy really did create generations of chaotic and messy personal and public lives. The story of Prince Charles and Princess Diana is utterly depressing. Magnificent performances from both Emma Corrin and Josh O'Connor. And I was amazed at Gillian Anderson's brilliant portrayal of Margaret Thatcher. Wow. I, again, can't wait to see more.
