Loving The Crown on Netflix

My wife and I have got into a terrible habit of binge watching our favourite shows. Lately it has been every episode of Heartland (has changed our views on the majesty of these beasts) which unfortunately is no longer on Netflix until early next year. Following this was a catch up of seasons three and four of Chicago Fire (funny to hear Miss H say "I remember that park..." or "I've been shopping there..." from time she spent overseas. Now that we have run out of episodes for both of these shows we have been on the hunt for something new.

A couple of nights ago we thought we would try The Crown, a dramatisation of how the current Queen of England, Elizabeth came to power and what important events occurred soon after her reign began.

We have found this show to be truly fascinating and very entertaining. The politics, the drama and the forbidden romances... All unfolding on the backdrop of some of history's truly momentous occasions. Queen Elizabeth has been such for 60 or so years now and it interests me greatly to learn (dramatised of course) the events that lead to her being crowned. Most enjoyable, most impressive. If you are yet to try it I can recommend...
