Oh, my. I'm at a timely point of The Crown! [View all]

I’ve been spacing this season out because I binged the first three way too quickly. I forgot to watch my one episode last week, so just watched two in a row: Episodes 8 and 9.

Margaret found out about the hidden away cousins in 8.
The row between the Queen and Thatcher, how the press handled it, and the cutthroat actions of “The Firm” was in 9.

I can’t help but make comparisons to current events and wonder what is real and what is fictionalized- in both the show and real life.

It’s such a well done show and I’m thrilled Gillian Anderson is winning awards for her performance. Gawd, I hate Thatcher.

And I want to punch Andrew. And Charles.
