Critic Reviews
The Crown Review: The Institution That Devours the Person
★★★★½
Netflix's The Crown turns the modern monarchy into prestige tragedy, tracing how the woman is slowly consumed by the Queen — an opulent, ambivalent study of duty's cost, recast every two seasons as its subjects age into history.
A lavish, intelligent and quietly devastating drama about self-erasure in service of an institution. Peter Morgan's finest sustained work.
