What I should be doing? Writing.
What I am doing? Watching "The Crown". 🤷♀️
@BabyToaster just started that this evening. Thought the first ep. was a bit too on the nose obvious and cack-handed writing. And Princess Anne sounds like she grew up in Bermondsey! Seems to have lost a little bit of its shine, I thought. Maybe I just need to settle into the new cast. IDK. 🤷♀️
And the whole abdication thing is mostly ghoulies. *sigh* Great to see Sickboy as Major, though. Also a bit weird. Miller is way too charismatic.
@TheStorySmith I'm not loving this season as much as the others. It's definitely a slow burn in terms of plot, and most of it focuses around dynamics I find less interesting than the previous seasons. Hopefully that means it's building to a big finale for the final season.
@BabyToaster Yeah, I loved the historical stuff I didn't know before.
However, I do think their deliberate portrayal of the Queen being completely distant and cold to her children is BS. She might well have had little family time, but I can't imagine she never tried or was as cold as they make out, not with the upbringing she had from her own parents, bearing in mind she was never meant to be monarch.
