    I enjoyed it - all of it.

    Sure, there are some historic liberties/speculations, but it was fun. Claire Foy, Olivia Colman were wonderful as the youthful, middle-aged, Regina Elizabeth. I was not all that enamored with the latest version.

    But...

    I’m going to miss The Crown. At its best, it has been alternately soothing, nostalgic, and educational, and even at its worst, it has always been well acted and gorgeous.

    The rest is behind a paywall...and I don't give money to "The Atlantic."

    The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.

      I think these last few episodes have been very good. Last night we watched the one with Tony Blair and evaluating the trappings of the monarchy. Coleman was spectacular.

        You mean Imelda Staunton, right?
