The Crown - general review

The Crown is one of those shows that even if you don’t like it, you have to admit that it has quality.

I liked it a lot, but it's not a show for everybody. It doesn’t have a frantic action or fast pace, which may seem boring for some viewers. Personally, I was mesmerized by the quality of the whole show from the very first episode.

It has fantastic production and actors that amazingly gave life to the people their characters represent. Knowing that most of them are alive and might be watching the show, the actors have extra difficulty.

Production

The production was cautious with every single detail and worked towards perfection. I have to highlight Claire Foy and Olivia Colman for their perfect acting as Queen Elizabeth.

About the story itself, it is what it is. They tried to be faithful to the facts as far as I know, with some eventual creative choices.

Until now, all the situations represented were things that I didn’t live, so most of them were news to me. I was slightly shocked by the role of Prince Philip, the queen’s husband - especially in the first and second seasons - and the way they pictured him in the show. The royal family might not be very happy about it…

I was also quite surprised by how early in life Prince Charles met Camila.

Evolution

The evolution of the show has been positive in all areas. I especially liked this third season and the development of the princes. They are adults now, with their own lives and dramas. More characters earn depth and interesting development.

I’m quite anxious for the new season and their advance in time. I'll love to see how some happenings I recall will be pictured in the show.

Waiting for more

I wanted to make a review of this show for a while now. Every season deserved a specific review, but, at this point, that would be difficult. Instead, I opted for this generalist review, while waiting the next season.

Conversations with a Killer: The Ted Bundy Tapes

This is not the sort of show which I usually talk about on this blog. However, as a psychologist, I’m usually quite curious in regards to criminals and their minds; and one of these days I started watching this documentary on Netflix . Taking into consideration the kind of thing this is, I can’t say I ‘liked’ it. I mean what you see in there is nothing to like, but I was rather terrified, which is probably the usual response. Nonetheless, it was definitely a good documentary. The eyes of a killer Everything displayed in this story was terrible. The descriptions, Bundy’s posture, everything seemed like some sort of horror show, putting into perspective what we may consider to be lucky or unlucky in this life. Before I even start watching it, I read somewhere that this was the kind of thing you shouldn’t watch alone. Sounds accurate right now. At the time, and considering my, mostly academic, experience, I didn’t think that this could actually be so upsetting.

Young Sheldon – A Heartfelt and Hilarious Journey

Young Sheldon is a delightful surprise, blending humor, heart, and a touch of nostalgia. As a prequel to The Big Bang Theory , the show offers insight into the childhood of Sheldon Cooper, one of the most iconic characters in modern TV. A Show That Grows Beyond Sheldon While you may start watching due to curiosity about Sheldon's early years, it soon becomes clear that this is not just about his childhood. The show includes an incredible variety of characters with their own charm and depth.

With the foundation laid in the initial season, there is great potential for the upcoming season to address any lingering questions and provide, once more, good entertainment. Chal
