One needs not be well informed on British political and monarchy history, but sometimes it helps. It is a show that even Americans can enjoy, a country filled with the bewildered when it comes to understanding Brit lifestyle and parliamentary procedures. Sit back and watch the portrayal in beautiful cinematography of the Queen that rules yet over the British Empire, what remains of it. The only downside is the fact that such a magnificent series, produced by Netflix, failed miserably by providing as bonus only still photos plus one advertisement to buy something else. Regardless, the DVD is worth a tiny piece of the Crown Jewels, because it’s more entertainment than documentary.

There are 10 episodes in the first season of The Crown, beginning just before the royal marriage in 1947 and lasting until 1955. We see the young Princess Elizabeth and her handsome naval officer husband balancing royal and military duties and starting a family, then suddenly being required to give up any semblance of a private life when King George VI died in 1952. Elizabeth II became Queen at a difficult period for Great Britain. The Empire was fragmenting, the economy stagnating, and world leadership seemed to be slipping away. We see the young Queen finding her footing and learning how to deal with her ministers, especially her first Prime Minister Winston Churchill. At the same time her husband was searching for a role of his own and chafing at the necessity of playing second fiddle to his wife. Any marriage would be stressed by these complications, and the depictions of conflict between the Queen and her husband are plausible. Also looking for new places in the world were the widowed Queen Mother and her younger daughter Princess Margaret. The series does an adroit job depicting those struggles, particularly the ones faced by Margaret, whose wish to marry a divorced man put her and her elder sister at odds. By the last episode we have seen some of these conflicts resolved, but many more await resolution in future seasons.
Season One of The Crown is a magnificent production which promises much and amply delivers. I await future seasons with eager anticipation.
My chief disappointment in this series is that a full and untouched view of the superb luxury of Buckingham Palace et al was not depicted well, possibly because they were not given permission to film in certain areas. The scenes in royal living areas seemed to be intentionally diminished somehow, whereas an elaborate and expansive view would have enhanced the story line immeasurably. Despite that, this series is well deserving of five stars.

J'ai commencé à visionner la saison 1 et je dois dire que j'ai adoré. Bien filmé avec d'excellents acteurs/actrices - je retrouve avec grande joie l'actrice Claire Foy (Elisabeth) que j'avais découverte dans la série historique (excellente) Wolf Hall dans le rôle de Anne Boleyn face à Henry VIII.
10 épisodes de 1947 à 1955.
Divertissement garanti pour découvrir les coulisses de la monarchie britannique, la rigidité extrême du protocole et une partie de la vie politique de la Grande Bretagne de l'après-guerre...
