Netflix top-notch historical-drama series The Crown return in a second season gives more insight in the characters, their lives, their duties and relationship. Already from the beginning in the debuting episode of the second series, the marriage-storyline establishes how it will come together.
The series expands on grandeur territories, it indicates a much grander which also takes a strain on our lead characters- Philip and Elizabeth. This season tells the story brilliantly blending the royal atmospheric and political game together with their personal life and issues as marriage and family problems. The plot isn’t straightforward as it was conducted before in the first season, it shifts plenty between characters and in some episodes are more focused on one character than others. The British artful and style in editing, writing and acting brings a sombre elegance to the subject. It provides an intelligent drama, a biographical story following three timelines divided in two.

Some people do probably relate to this as this series has a sombre tone in it distinguish form. The second part focuses partly more on marriage between the duke and the Queen, it also expands the storyline on how the sovereign tries to keep Britain together in a time of deceit.

It exceeds how Game of Thrones made its run. It doesn’t have the same dynamic plot as Breaking Bad had. The second series doesn’t decrease in quality, it rather expands on the plot. Entering in some unknown territories. It keeps the same quality it had the first season. The budget and the hype in the second season have increased as well, with high-quality music, brilliant performances, relatable story and a binge-worthy season. It doesn’t go without saying that season two is a far better than its predecessor even though it’s Foy’s and Smith’s final season. Remember, there’s no justice in politics.
