Now that The Crown is over, Netflix may struggle to reach that level of prestige television again. The Crown won Netflix Emmys, which other original series failed to do, and will only do so again if Peter Morgan chooses to do a prequel or sequel series. But in reality, The Crown dipped in quality and viewership as the series progressed, falling to its own glory.The early seasons of The Crown that depicted the first few decades of Queen Elizabeth II’s reign after her father’s passing were brilliantly cast and superior to most other interpretations of the royal family during that era. In an iconic move, the series recast its main characters three times as they matured, and introduced new royals and integral allies to the family. Throughout six seasons, there were splendid times, there were bad times, and then there were blatantly questionable times that will stir minds for years to come.It’s not that the performances are particularly bad; Elizabeth Debicki and Lesley Manville as Diana and Princess Margaret are the highlights. It’s just that the story doesn’t do them many favors. The Queen Mother’s portrayal is particularly confusing, as if she was written as an entirely new, bitter character without a seamless transition. Poor Imelda Staunton isn’t given enough material to distinguish her as Elizabeth and, while captivating, Jonathan Pryce’s Prince Phillip just feels like some other guy living in the castle. On another note, The Crown goes a little soft on Charles in his worst era, while also portraying Diana as immature and vengeful in favor of royalist propaganda.
