I like the designs, acting, casting choices, writing. It's paced really well, kept my attention for the first four episodes or so. It started to get a little dry and is definitely not a show to binge watch, but it kept my attention. I think my favorite aspects were the non-verbal communication between a few key characters, really poignant moments especially with Jared Harris, but stuff like introducing ex-king edward and all the sleazeball, ADD, random moves by Churchill had me annoyed with him fast as hell.

Does everyone generally consider that the show gets better or worse as it continues?

It's consistently great for the first two seasons. The cast is amazing, especially Claire Foy, Vanessa Kirby, and John Lithgow (S1).

Unfortunately season 3 will have a brand new cast because of a time jump, but it should still be top notch television

Only seen the first three or so episodes and it was decent.

Was in Liverpool the other week and they were filming a shot of "New York".

Why couldn't they find someone English to play Churchill?

Lithgow is so excellent in the role, I can't imagine anyone would have any real complaints with the casting.

And The Crown remains consistently high-quality throughout. It's also the rare Netflix role that actually values the idea of an episode. So many streaming series, aware of their binge nature, treat their series as 10-13 hour movies and episodes are simply how they divide writing and directing duties. Each episode of the Crown has a proper episode arc and tells a complete story. That's not to say there isn't overarching themes and storylines, but they are weaved through the episodes story.

There's really not a Netflix series that can match the quality of The Crown. It's a huge step above any other drama

Netflix has The Crown, Hulu has Handmaid's, and Am Prime has Mrs. Maisel

Spike does this in every topic involving movies set in the UK.
