Anyone watching The Crown Season 3? What do you think? The story line about the spy is true.

I see a different queen portrayal. And having difficulty getting used to the new prince.

1. I'm watching

I fell in love with the first actors. I'm sure I'll get used to the new ones.

I never know how much of history has been embellished. It certainly is true to history as I remember it.

2. I thought the first actors very fine and believable. Getting accustomed, yes. There are some

online articles about the real history vs what is portrayed, Seems mainly a bit of dramatic license
with chronology, and of course, all the private moments have to be made up. But the spy was real!

5. So was her uncle's treason

I knew he loved Hitler, but damn...

7. Oh yes. That fact was real and they did not pull punches on it.

3. The spy in real life did reap what he sowed--though years later. Worth a google....

6. Thanks. I will google. He was be of the big five. Not as big as Burgess.

4. Always risky to change casts IMO ...

you mess with the chemistry that created the original hit. But, what's done is done. Olivia Coleman and Helena Bonham Carter are awesome actresses. I'm looking forward to see how they work together.

The production looks different too -- cinematography, art direction, lighting, general mood. Anyone else notice?

8. Acting superb. Storylines mostly zzzzzzzzzzz

my wife and I are not "gripped" by it at all.

9. First two seasons I was able to get caught up in the story, Prince Phillip's background, marital

conflict, WW II, then enjoy seeing queen catapulted with growing maturity, steady resolve and will, into the sixties. Of course wanted to see the Kennedys. Now I am not feeling it. A bit interested in Princess Margaret, but saw the movie already. Read queen is not in the third season
much.

10. agreed.
