Season 4 trailer! November 15th! Can't wait. Last season I felt Colman/Elizabeth was unfairly sidelined (esp given how the greatly inferior Foy had ten times the screentime Colman did) in favor of Margaret, Philip and even Charles, this trailer seems to hint that the focus will indeed be on Thatcher and Diana this year, which makes me worried that Colman will once again be left in the cold.

Most epic trailer of the year. Those production values are INSANE. God this looks amazing across the board. CANNOT WAIT.
I'm also currently rewatching the first two seasons. Season 1 was even better than I remembered.

Anderson looks legitimately terrifying here - can't wait to see her in the role. It's well-known that the Queen and Thatcher hated each other.

Gillian Anderson proving once again that she is the living queen of television. Cannot wait for this showdown.

I wish I was more into this show, because Anderson looks fantastic here! Very generous to Thatcher to cast Anderson as her looks-wise, but it looks like it'll work.

4 episodes in, it is safe to say that this is the best season of the show. Immaculately directed and acted, and Gillian Anderson will absolutely steamroll the awards season.

I'm also 4 episodes in and love it oh so much. Episode 1 and 3 are easily the highlights so far, which turns out are directed by Benjamin Caron, who as it turns out is responsible for all of my favorite Crown episodes. The acting, the cinematography, the production values, the drama! I'm gonna stop here and drag this experience out for a few more days.
Corrin, O'Connor, Colman and Anderson are the highlights so far.

This season was so addictive that I have already finished it. Best season so far and by far, a masterclass in basically every department. I'll be very angry if this doesnt win SAG Ensemble

6 episodes into it. Going really well. Very layered and tightly woven. Great performances all around.

This is definitely the most entertaining and "binge-worthy" season so far. The writing has always been on the nose (I actually gagged when Camilla told Diana, "I don't mind sharing" when they're splitting the check), but the cast are so uniformly strong and the production values are so beautiful that they more than compensate for it.

Hmmm... I am hesitant to be criticize it because more than once before (season 2, the first two episodes of season 3) I have been disappointed by this show only for my negative feelings on it to go up in smoke as soon as I revisited, but... As much as I loved it at its best (and I did love it, I mean I watched 7 episodes in 2 days. Was hard work to make the last 3 last 2 more) I think I had more issues with this than any of the 3 seasons to date primarily because it started out with this pretty clear picture of what it wanted to say, and then to me the last few episodes just go off in this whole other direction that seems like it's been written by someone else, and pays little to no mind to what came before. Episode 1 was a super solid opening, loved this portrait of Diana as some creepy, stalkery social climber softened by Corrin's performance, and loved the brilliantly established social unrest. Episode 2 was fucking fantastic stuff that builds on everything established in the previous one. The way it contrasts these two womens trips to Balmoral was a beautiful stroke through which they achieved so much without belittling anyone. Episode 3 was down right uncomfortable to watch at times, and the way it puts you right inside this *BEEP*'s head and makes you take this awful claustrophobic trip with her is triumphant, and loved the way it ties it in with the families history of this sort of thing already established in earlier seasons. Episode 4 I liked slightly less because I thought the Thatcher stuff was a little dumb, especially the way they tried to tie together her concern for Mark with the origins of the war. The stuff with Elizabeth and her kids was much better, and sort of saved the whole thing. Episode 5 is amazing. The way it ties this story together with the class war it wants to explore is brilliant. One of the highlights of the season, for sure. Episode 6 I am up and down on. I love the concept of it, and I think it ties that together well with charting the course of the relationship, and I think the ending once they come home is great (the hug ) but my god, the line "she will break" completely fucking unnecessary. Damn near ruins the whole thing. Episode 7 is another close to being the highlight of the whole thing, and one of the few that 4 years into a show that essentially recycles the same thematic ideas within different historical events to show the idea of this endless unbreakable cycle of tradition repeating itself actually branched out somewhere sort of new. Episode 8 was great. Loved seeing Foy, loved the narrative they carve out of this story where it begins as good vs evil, and then this final twist in the tale throws this cloud over the whole thing. Another sort of new angle. Episode 9 is then when it sort of starts to sour some for me. All of a sudden it's all in on the Diana train. She's just a coy, simpering, fragile victim. Every character on this show exists within shades of grey save for Diana and Camilla, the latter of whom we don't see enough of for her to be anything but a terribly simplistic piece of crap (and considering the wedding of Charles and Camilla is the natural end point of this show the fact that they're running her into the ground seems pretty misguided to me), and the former who after 2 such strong introductory episodes is nothing but an angel. What happened to the dude wrote that Blair rant at the end of The Queen? Episode 10 "I can't see it ending well for you" another fucking stupid unnecessary line that is vague enough to be open to interpretation, but clear of intent. Other than that so much of what it does either has nothing to do with the crown (the time devoted to that Thatcher good bye is laughable. I know she's your wife Peter Morgan, and I know we're living through a new age of feminism, but this motherfucker doesn't quite have Churchill's legacy) and the Diana and Charles stuff is just repeating itself ad nauseum by this point. The funny thing is they have all of the material there in these last two episodes to do something interesting with her, but while they have Charles pay lip service, it's all on him and the portrait of her is lily white till the finish. Big let down.

I agree on the fifth episode. I think it might be the best episode of the show.

ibbi - So, you definitely are not a fan of Diana? Diana and Thatcher are two of my absolute least favourite public figures of my lifetime and yet I will happily concede that they were both very, very interesting characters, who could make for INCREDIBLE drama, and after strong starts in its portrayal of both I just couldn't believe how limply it went out as far as they were concerned. In fact there was not really any resolution to the season at all, it just randomly ended in the middle of the same old shit.

Do we think that Colman wins the Emmy for her second season, just as Foy did? Anderson and Corrin are pulling a lot of the focus, but Colman is definitely the anchor.
