The Crown - Série 2

The second season confirms the fact that the success of the first was not an accident. It masterfully continues the polished combination of historical accuracy, period flamboyance and a little healthy improvisation here and there. This unique concoction for success is complemented once again by fabulous actors in practically all leading and supporting roles. At the same time, the creators managed not to miss the mark in their attempt to make the second season bigger, grander, or perhaps more mainstream. The recipe from the first episode works with very similar ingredients, it operates with what tastes good and tries to eliminate as much as possible what doesn't taste good and it succeeds almost completely.

I have to admit that I was expecting a drop in quality compared to Season 1, but I was wrong. The creators did make some changes by focusing more on interpersonal relationships this time around but it was done in a way that deserves nothing but praise. Which is not to say that I'm not interested in British politics. I'm very pleased so far and I'm looking forward to Season 3. (28/03/2018)

Season 2 follows in the footsteps of the first one in terms of outstanding production design and screenwriting, but the place where Winston Churchill last presided over and to some extent overshadowed the royal family is now empty. Fortunately, Morgan solves the lack of a big personality in his own way, as he more or less unpicks the series and at the same time skillfully illustrates the marriage of the royal couple with partial stories – and we get to learn a lot, about Charles, the Nazis, trendy hairstyles; pick one, the menu is varied and without exception excellent.
