It’s happened! It’s here! All 10 episodes of new show The Crown have launched on Netflix and people are absolutely loving it.
Starring Matt Smith as the Duke of Edinburgh and Claire Foy as Elizabeth II, the historical drama delves into the current Queen’s rise to reigning, the family troubles involved, and even a cheeky bit of D of E nudity.
It looks like Netflix account holders have already been binging on the show today (we’re assuming a few sickies have been pulled here) and they are only just a bit happy with it.
For most, everything about it is just awesome…
I'm addicted #TheCrown

#TheCrown gets extra points for Hans Zimmer's theme and Rupert Gregson-Williams' music.

@TheCrownNetflix is super good. Plus you get to see Matt Smith's butt. Or a butt double butt. Still a good butt either way. #thecrown

The more academic viewers appreciated how accurate a portrayal it…portrayed…
If you like historical dramas that are actually accurate and not twisted/exaggerated for drama i suggest the crown on netflix

With some even making the bold claim that it could rival our well-established all-British faves…
The Crown makes Downton Abbey look like a kids show. #YesISaidIt

Viewers like the new side it shows of the Queen…
Watching the crown and all I can think is damn queen Elizabeth was a baddie in her prime

And it even inspired some to feel a bit regal themselves…
