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.

Raising Voices - Why Alma's Mom Had the Right Reaction

In Netflix’s Raising Voices , there's a raw, emotionally charged moment when Alma confesses to her mom that something happened the night she disappeared — she was drunk, she had sex, and something didn’t feel right. It’s the kind of moment that many parents dread. But Alma’s mom handled it in a way that deserves attention. She didn’t panic. She didn’t judge. She didn’t lose control. Instead, she met her daughter halfway, which made all the difference. What Happened in the Scene? When Alma opened up to her mom, she wasn’t just confessing — she was testing the waters for safety. Could she trust her mom with the truth? Would she still be loved after saying something shameful, scary, or confusing? Her mom’s response wasn’t perfect — but it was real. She was concerned, but didn’t explode. She asked questions. She listened. She let the moment breathe. Why That Reaction Matters Technically, what Alma described can be considered sexual assault , given her level of intoxication. Bu...

Netflix's Fred and Rose West: A British Horror Story is not just a true crime documentary — it’s a psychological deep dive into one of the most disturbing couples in British criminal history . While the crimes are shocking, the nature of Fred and Rose’s relationship truly unsettles. Were they in love? Or was their bond something far darker? A Match Made in Hell From the moment Fred and Rose met, something clicked. But it wasn’t a love story — it was a dangerous connection built on control, abuse, and mutual cruelty. The documentary shows us how they fed off each other’s darkest urges. It wasn’t about love in the traditional sense. It was about power, domination, and shared depravity. Can Psychopaths Feel Love? This is the big question. Can two people with such extreme psychological disorders really feel love?
