““The Crown” is good even if it is historically inaccurate in many ways. Still a watchable story.”
On the whole it is very good but the “Matrimonial” episode is mostly soft porn. Netflix manages to get dirty stuff into everything it does. Maybe this is a statement about its audience. Maybe I’m a prude.
I haven’t seen the episode yet, but if it is the one about P. Margaret and Tony Armstrong-Jones, I have seen clips from the trailer. I would prefer that intimacy be suggested rather than graphically acted out, but I guess I am a prude too. I wish actors and actresses could start demanding not to have to play in such scenes (including with body doubles) and win that argument.
Im turned off by the porn aspects in so many shows. The very last episode of Longmire, even. Things handled deftly, quietly and romantically with a hint of mystery and appropriate cutaways are so much better than explicitly. Besides, the web is awash in porn...why does it have to degrade everything?
