In an otherwise uneven Season 5, TheCrown's standout is Elizabeth Debicki's Diana. Our review:
A predictable cycle always seems to crop up in the press right around the time that Netflix is gearing up to premiere a new season of The Crown. Someone makes headlines with the declaration that Peter Morgan's longtime series should come packaged with an indication that what's being depicted is fiction, the streamer responds to those assertions by issuing its own statement about the dramatization of events, and eventually, audiences tune in regardless of whether such a disclaimer exists.
Elizabeth herself is also dealing with the dilemma of whether she maintains any purpose in her current role as monarch or if, like the soon-to-be-decommissioned royal yacht Britannia, she's merely an old relic that serves as an unwanted reminder of a different age.
There are certainly more than a few liberties taken with The Crown's depiction — chances are there was no post-divorce convo between Charles and Di over scrambled eggs — but there are also the very verifiable events where Diana decides to assert herself in her own words, via Andrew Morton's biography or the tell-all broadcast conducted by BBC journalist Martin Bashir in '95.
