The Crown - Netflix Elizabeth II Drama

[mulled vespertine]

"I am...ma'am."

Gillian's nailed it, from the first syllable I cringed because I fucking hate that voice.

 

[mulled vespertine]

Anyway great trailer, though can we PLEASE stop this trend of slowing down an older song or playing it in a minor key and singing it like you've got a mouthful of COCK.

I tried to watch The Crown last year, after all the hype. Aside from the budget and visuals, I couldn't get over how silly it was. Lots of ridiculous scenes and conversations that probably never took place in reality. It's like a spoof without the humour. And the ham acting and accents...yikes! Is that the appeal? I'm shocked to see five star reviews from serious critics. It's DIRE.

I'm not being snobby either. I love a bit of trash telly, but this one seems to be neither out-and-out trash nor serious drama. I just don't get it!

have you seen the actual royal family? HAM INCARNATE

 

[Mats]

royals and ham practically go hand in hand

Spoiler

 

[Mats]

anyway I can't think of a more hammy person than Thatcher and I'm perched for this!

10 minutes in and I'm already gagged at Gillian Anderson's Thatcher!

 

[Ellie]

I’m just starting this now. Gave up halfway through Series 1 as I found it quite DULL just because anything to do with WW2 and the aftermath has been done to death in every aspect, but now we’re in a decent era I will pick it up again.

Also the clips of Gillian Anderson have been astounding!

 

[AGinAg (38)]

I wonder if she saw Baga Chipz Thatcher before doing this. Her performance is certainly not a glowing tribute.

In a good way or in a Spitting Image impression way? The trailer suggests the latter to me...

 

[AGinAg (38)]

I haven't decided yet! I'm enjoying it regardless.

 

[AGinAg (38)]

The actress doing Diana is great. Her voice is spot on.

 

[jivafox]

Getting into this for the first time for Gillian. I want to bang Prince Charles in this universe.

TOTALLY! He’d cry afterwards too.

 

[AGinAg (38)]

I presume we've all seen the actor in God's Own Country. Gay and naked.

Indeed. He was ever so BROODY.

 

[Sheena]

He’s a SCUMMER though. I didn’t realise.

 

[Jark]

a what?

beginning this now. SO EXCITED.

 

[AGinAg (38)]

Obviously Princess Diana is a personal icon, but I never understood the idea that she was hot. I suspect the horrible 80s hair threw me off.

 

[Sheena]

Someone from Southampton. It’s what us people from Portsmouth call them. Scum.

 

[Sheena]

Obviously Princess Diana is a personal icon, but I never understood the idea that she was hot. I suspect the horrible 80s hair threw me off.

Me and my gays went through a long stage of sending each other Princess Diana porn fakes. She looks a lot better with a group of cocks around her face.

 

[Jark]

omg the scene introducing Diana is FANTASTIC

You sure they were fake?

 

[mulled vespertine]

Gillian saying anything emotional through gritted teeth is an absolute riot - her "condolences" to Liz over the phone for starters.

 

[jivafox]

The ibble dibble scene

 

[AGinAg (38)]

I've just read Prince Edward is played by the creepy nephew from Fleabag. Amazing. I hope we gets Its A Knockout.

 

[AGinAg (38)]

I must say this series is fantastic so far.

 

[Ellie]

Starting episode 3 and enjoying it loads. Wish I’d started yesterday.

It only dropped today!

 

[Ellie]

Queen: “She’s gone back to Earls Court in the flat she shares with...”
Margaret: “Prostitutes and Australians”

 

[Jark]

The ibble dibble scene

utterly EXCRUCIATING

her 60 a day smoker's voice is quite something!

 

[Jark]

her absolute allergy to anything remotely FUN is iconic!

 

[AGinAg (38)]

Keep reminding yourself it's Anderson that's the QOL.

 

[jivafox]

Wearing BRIGHT BLUE on a stag stalk!

 

[AGinAg (38)]

I've just remembered Lesley Manville is going to be the final Margaret. I cannot wait.

 

[FetchFugly]

Ibble dibble almost killed me and Pincess Margaret lecturing Thatcher about the benefits of time orf

 

[Ellie]

Diana roller skating around the palace to Girls on Film was just something else.

 

[ZenGiraffe]

I've watched the first two episodes and I'm struggling to decide who I hate more. Thatcher, obviously, is Thatcher. But the way the royal family just hung a commoner out to dry really is awful as well.

So glad this show is back.

 

[Jark]

episode 3 is a bit less thrilling but my god that Camilla and Diana lunch debacle surely that didn't happen?

don't get me wrong though, I'm all for liberties being taken to "zhuzh up" mundane affairs

I think by the end of this season I will absolutely despise real life Charles.

 

[mulled vespertine]

On episode three and loving it - it's so fucking well made. The editing around Lord Mountbatten's death and the way they were informed was ASTONISHING. I also loved Diana leaving her flatmates, the long descent down the staircase indicating the beginning of the end for her.
