Born Hunter 17,909 Posted November 16, 2020 Report Share Posted November 16, 2020 Dunno if many of you watch it but the new season has been released on Netflix. I got into it last year and really liked it as a sort of drama of British history over the last near century. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
tatsblisters 10,934 Posted November 18, 2020 Report Share Posted November 18, 2020 My wife has watched it from the start and it never interested me although i started watching the latest series and found it good tbh though it seems the producers have put rightly or wrongly a left wing slant on the episode i watched last night about that Royal palace intruder Fagin.

They've portrayed a few left leaning people favourably tbh. I don't mind, maybe it's the truth I just like how it covers all the significant events in our history over the Queens life. I'd love to see a band of brothers type series about the Falklands War. Maybe even with 50/50 Brit/Argie plot with no bias. 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

It's a docudrama/historical drama not a soap opera, and it's streaming tv not daytime. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

They basically skip between significant historical events of the nation and how the royal family/government dealt with them and these basic plot lines are padded with the personal relationships of the various family members. I personally found it quite insightful. There's a bit of fieldsports in it too of course. The stalking and fishing are alright but the shooting scenes depart from reality a bit, lol.
