Is this as good as Game of Thrones or really different?

Just completely different. Both are good in their own way, although The Crown is less likely to flounder in its last season.

The lies told, decisions and the sacrifices made to protect the Institution are both sad and historically interesting. What was done to the mentally challenged royals was a travesty.

It's definitely been an interesting and informative ride! I'm probably like many (most?) Americans in that I've never given a lot of thought to the Royal Family, so it's been fun to watch the seasons unfold.

Is this as good as Game of Thrones or really different?

Completely different genre, fantasy vs pseudo-documentary based on historical facts.

Just finished watching series 4. Didn't think it was as good as the first 3 series, Found the Charles and Di stuff really dull. The episode about Michael Fagin, is exeptionally good. As is Olivia Coleman. Like a lot of straight guys, and a few lesbians, I'm struggling with Gillian Anderson playing Margaret Thatcher.

Just finished watching series 4. Didn't think it was as good as the first threee series, Found the Charlkes and Di stuff really dull. The episode about Michael Fagin, is exeptionally good. As is Olivia Coleman. Like a lot of straight guys, and a few lesbians, I'm struggling with Gillian Anderson playing Margaret Thatcher.

I enjoyed seeing the background on this relationship, and have no issues with Anderson’s portrayal of Thatcher, but that’s just personal opinion.

I had no idea Gillian Anderson would be playing Margaret Thatcher, so my wife got an earful of my "Holy F***!" moment midway through one of the episodes. I then had an old man moment as I had to explain to my wife who Gillian Anderson is (she was in Kindergarten when the X-Files first aired).

I shook her hand

Watching The Royals on Reelz, covering the Charles/Diana years. The Crown TV show appears remarkably accurate in this regard.

Where did you get to shake Anderson’s hand?

Where did you get to shake Anderson’s hand?

She was doing an X-Files event near Milan’s cathedral in the 1990’s. It was a smallish event (maybe 150 people) and I was able to snuck in. She was gorgeous.

When I added the I was not sure if you shook Anderson or Thatcher's hand.

The Crown season five: Wait, did Prince Charles actually try to overthrow the Queen?!

Surely not!

Season 5 E3: Mou Mou was excellent.

It took me a while to place her, Elizabeth Debicki as Diana, in a former/returning role:

Ayesha: Guardians of the Galaxy 2​

Dammit Huntn, I had completely forgotten that season 5 of The Crown had begun. Just what my wife and I need - another time sink.
