Alright, buckle up, everyone! The Crown Season 5 just dropped,  and if you’re like me, you’ve been waiting for your next fix of royal drama and impeccable accents. This season doesn’t disappoint, serving up a royal feast with a side of scandal that’s juicier than the latest palace gossip. Here’s my personal take on season 5 of THE CROWN review. 

Imelda Staunton as The Queen - Crowning Glory

First off, let’s talk about Imelda Staunton as Queen Elizabeth II. The woman is a force of nature and deserves a standing ovation; she’s like the Meryl Streep of royalty. She manages to capture Her Majesty’s regal poise while adding a touch of vulnerability that makes you see the Queen as an actual human being. Who knew? Right? 

Phillip & Elizabeth - The Dynamic Duo

The scenes between Her Majesty and Jonathan Pryce as Prince Phillip are like a masterclass in acting; the banters, subtle eye rolls, and shared glances, it’s all there. I won’t spill all the beans, but let’s just say their chemistry is more electric than crown jewels.

Charles & Diana - The Drama Unfolds

Now, let’s dive into the younger generation. Dominic West as Prince Charles? Forget what you thought you knew about the guy; West brings a layer of complexity to Charles that makes you sympathise with the poor bloke. And Elizabeth Debicki as Princess Diana? Can we talk about the perfect casting choice? 

She nails the charm and the heartbreaking vulnerability of the people’s Princess. The Charles and Diana saga unfolds like a Shakespearean tragedy, and you’re left with a rollercoaster of emotions.

The ‘90s: Tabloids, Troubles, and Turmoil 

The ‘90s, one of the most turbulent decades for the royal family, a time period we’ve been waiting for since the show premiered back in 2016. So, get ready for it. The show doesn’t shy away from addressing the scandals and controversies that rocked the royal boat. Also, the portrayal of the royal family’s response to public scrutiny is handled with a careful touch. 

Cinematic Brilliance At Its Best

Now, let’s talk about the visuals. The Crown has always been on point with cinematography, but season 5 takes it up notch. The grandeur of Buckingham Palace, the sweeping landscapes, and the meticulous attention to detail is just perfect. 

Laughs Amidst The Crown

So, here's the thing, it’s not all serious business in the crown season 5. This season has this sly sense of humour that pleasantly catches you off guard. There are moments of subtle wit and charm that’ll leave you smiling. Hey, and guess what? You can stream season 5 of THE CROWN on Netflix. 

In Conclusion:

The Crown Season 5 is a binge worthy blend of history, scandal, and top-notch performances with a brilliant cast. This season is filled with political drama, and invites the audience to witness the intricacies of power and humanity. Whether you love royal history or a casual viewer who loves brilliant performances on TV dramas, season 5 of “The Crown” is an excellent choice.
