I’m binge watching this series now. My first impression is, Wow, what a great series. I cannot think of a single mediocre to poor performance by any of the cast. Foy is wonderful as a young Queen Elizabeth. Her father, King George VI is wonderfully cast in the early part of season 1. John Lithgow is simply wonderful as Winston Churchill. Perhaps even on par with Gary Oldman’s performance last year in The Darkest Hour.

The series should continue to be awesome as the timeline continues to advance. I’m eager to see how the relationship between the sovereigns and the Margaret Thatcher led government. But, apparently that will be in season four and perhaps five.

On another note, but related, Netflix is my go to for entertainment now. There is some damn good movies and documentaries on there. Honestly blows the cable and satellite stuff out of the water.

I forgot how wonderful Lithgow was! He really made the first season.
