Netflix’s original series “The Crown” provides an insight to British life as it follows Queen Elizabeth II’s reign from her beginning as a young monarch, showing how she progressed with experience and dealt with crisis that impacted the world in the 1950s, which are still felt today.

Since the show mirrors the Queen’s actual life, most of the events, people and places are historically accurate and provides audience members a history lesson as they become involved with all the drama and heartbreaks that happened behind the scenes.

I enjoyed how the actors and actresses playing the roles of actual people in history interpreted his or her character, mainly Claire Foy who portrayed the Queen herself and John Lithgow who won an Emmy Award for his portrayal of Winston Churchill.

It is a little disappointing that the main characters are being recast for the upcoming seasons, but in order to maintain historical accuracy and show progression through time, it is necessary to show change.

I found myself unable to get away from my TV and watched the entire first season within a few days. The second season was just as satisfying as the first, and I am left counting the days until season three comes out, although there is no release date yet.
