Just finished season 3 of Crown (2019). Proceeding to Season 4 of Crown.
Season 3 review: This was a great Tv-Season. It is like watching an origin story movie of King Charles III, his first romance with Camilia, the ceremony in Wales, and his strong desire to want to be king and free from his mothers shadow.
King Charles III looks like a beta-male guy that allot of guys can identify with, especially if you have a strict mother (like I do) and have a sheltered life (like I do). In allot of ways he is relatable (ie based on the TV-show, but of course, it may be casting him in a favorable light). I've made bad decision in the past with women, but justified them because of love, and in a sense, I feel these people are making the same sort of mistakes. He is really taking after his uncle, King Edward VIII, whom he felt that he pursued true love.
Personally, I broke up with an ex-gf that was a divorcee and I choose honor over true love when the time came to choose. But I respect his decision as when you really click with someone, it may be the only true-love connection you have, and you have to experience this to really know that. But we all have a choice to make in that regard.
With respect to the TV-Show, It is always a question between following your heart, and respecting the ideals of faith, duty and honor. Will give it a five-start rating for now. It's very well presented. Great direction, talent, casting, etc... has the works for a TV-program.
I'm going to start watching season 4 and hopefully get caught up with it soon as all of the TV-show is becoming more real with each passing moment as we see King Charles III start his figurehead reign. Looking forward to this next season.
They have a 5th season they are planning to release in November.
It is worth noting, I have looked at other critical content about the monarchs and treatment of black/brown people in other countries during her reign. Nevertheless, the TV-show masterfully focuses on the intrigue, coming-of-age, and love-stories and presents a very glossy rendering. When you make a Soap-Opera out of what could be a framed to be a set of horrendous facts, you can't lose, so they did create a great story out of the program.
