The Crown

This historical drama that was allegedly too expensive for the BBC was eventually made for Netflix, which allocated 110 million euros for this production. The result is absolutely stunning and perhaps this is an unexpected contender to compete with "The Night Of" for the title of best series of this year. It is unlikely how strikingly John Lithgow will portray a Winston Churchill here, all the more so because the man with his 1.93 m is literally a head taller than the then English prime minister with his 1.67 m. Although the series is of course not about him but about him. an equally convincing Claire Foy who stars in her role as Queen Elizabeth II. For those who are not afraid to learn something or want to polish up his / her history lesson, this is definitely a must, a format that equals the very best BBC productions in every way. For me, this series has already ended up in my top 10 of all time.

I have only seen 1 episode, but the quality is really dripping. And indeed John Lithgow's role as Churchill is truly phenomenal. Plan time to cover the rest of the season in one go.
