Two questions immediately come to mind as I watch the first three hours of Netflix's new season of The Crown.
1. That imposing entrance hall in the first scene, where Charles arrives for a date: how much would Hydro One charge to heat this endless expanse? More than I pay on November 16??
2. What does The Queen make of this ersatz historical drama that concocts dialogue she probably never delivered?
Imagine if Peter Morgan was doing a 40 part series on Your Life, never having talked to you.
Dramatizing how you acted, spoke, thought in a carefully arranged plot line designed for maximum eyeballs.
How much do you think would be true?
I guess creator-writer-producer Morgan gets about 80% of the historical timeline right.
But at most, is 15% of the onscreen dialogue more than imagined/concocted?
Based on hearsay from non-Royal biographies?

Still, Princess Diana (Emma Corrin) has been perfectly cast in the new episodes and it's entertaining as hell to see the Royals be more beastly to her then you ever imagined.
No wonder a title card warns of eating disorders.
Here is a puking Cinderella for the ages.

I believe Gillian Anderson eats ice cubes before each of her scenes as Margaret Thatcher.
Hydro One aside, the new 10 episodes of The Crown glow.
