The latest series just dropped on Netflix.
Overall this fifth instalment of the royal story takes a while to get going, inching too slowly towards the fireworks we know are to come and casting around for other, less shiny things to catch our interest, like Philip’s close friendship with Penny Knatchbull, relations with Russia and the backstory of the al-Fayed family.
But Staunton’s stately yet stubborn Queen suffers the same fate as her real-life counterpart: dependably carrying out the responsibilities of her public office, many of which are quite dull, doesn’t exactly make for much excitement despite the rocky events of this time period.
“Where the early series could rely on the luxe nostalgia of being a period drama, it feels as though there should be a stronger point of view to retreading these more contemporary years.”
