This penultimate season of “The Crown” covers the years between 1991 and 1997. As has been the case with the past four seasons once again the cast is completely different; rather than relying on makeup and wigs to age the actors appropriate for the era “The Crown” just replaces them with older ones every two seasons.
This season Imelda Staunton takes the lead as Queen Elizabeth and while I don’t think she looks much like the late queen all three actresses who have played her have done a great job mimicking her precise speech, perfect diction, and measured cadences. Dominic West, coming a long way from his role as Detective Jimmy McNulty on “The Wire”, is the new Prince Charles and while hardly a dead ringer for Charles he does a credible job. Jonathan Pryce joins the cast as Prince Philip, Elizabeth’s husband. Jonny Lee Miller might seem an unlikely choice to play Prime Minister John Major but he pulls it off quite nicely with an understated performance.
Of all the changes for Season 5, I felt Elizabeth Debicki steals the show with her captivating portrayal of the late Princess Diana. From certain angles Debicki looks so much like Diana that it’s eerie. Debicki is 6’2” tall (Diana was 5’10”) and towers over almost everyone in every scene but despite her imposing height she manages to capture the vulnerability and despair of the unhappily married Diana.
Now that “The Crown” is covering more recent events the show feels less like fact based historical fiction and more like a soap opera. This might be due to the relentless media coverage of the slow motion marriage implosion of Charles & Diana and the well documented acrimony between the couple.
Regardless, the series continues to be lavishly produces with amazing sets and spectacular wardrobe.
“The Crown” never claimed to be a documentary and much of what is presented in regard to the dialog between the various characters is based on the imagination of the writers. Most of the time what we see on the screen has an air of authenticity but occasionally one wonders. There is a scene in S5 where post-divorce Charles pays an unexpected visit to Diana at her apartment. What ensues is a fairly long scene where the two chat amiably (Diana even cooks him scrambled eggs) and almost seem ready to reconcile before the wrong thing is said and he abruptly departs leaving despondent Diana behind. I had a hard time believing this event actually took place and if it did that what we saw was more than idle speculation.
Overall “The Crown” Season 5 faithfully delivers the kind of high quality drama that viewers have come to expect. The subject matter for this outing isn’t quite as compelling as past seasons but it still is superior to 90% of what’s on television today. Also, if nothing else this season is a must because it sets up a lot of what is coming in the sixth and final season of “The Crown” premiering in November of this year.

Not as compelling as past seasons; Elizabeth Debicki shines as Princess Diana

Drama, Not Documentary
Reseñado en los Estados Unidos el 31 de octubre de 2023
In the 5th series of The Crown we are once again treated to an excellent dramatization of a period during the long reign of Queen Elizabeth II. Covering the years roughly from 1991 to mid 1997, Season 5 is inevitably primarily focused on the marital breakup and final divorce of the then Prince and Princess of Wales. There are some other tangential stories dealing with relations between the Queen and her husband the Duke of Edinburgh, Princess Margaret, and the rest of the Queen's children, but Charles and Diana are the main story. It makes for a sadder overall series than the earlier ones, though to be fair there are some cheerier moments, like the scenes showing the teenaged Prince William teaching his grandmother how to use her new satellite television. The Queen's role in governance is not neglected either, her Prime Ministers John Major and (in the final episode) Tony Blair getting good dramatic coverage.
For the 5th season the cast members have all been changed once again. Over all, I don't think the new caste members are as good as those in Seasons 1 through 4. Neither Imelda Staunton as Elizabeth II nor Jonathan Pryce as Prince Philip are as believable as their counterparts in the earlier series. The one exception to this is Elizabeth Debicki, who does an extraordinary job as Diana.
The 5th season ends in the summer of 1997 with the Wales divorce finalized. It will be interesting, albeit heart wrenching, to see how many episodes the 6th season takes to depict Diana's final days and her death and funeral.

Best New TV Series In Years
Reseñado en los Estados Unidos el 25 de octubre de 2023
‘The Crown’ series has been absolutely excellent and this installment for season 5 is no exception. Most of the casting is spot-on, with the exception of HRH Diana. Diana was quite thin at times of stress, particularly when the bulemia was out of control, but eventually she looked healthy and fit. The actress who portrays her here is practically emaciated and so painfully thin the audience will be tempted to buy her a Happy Meal. Although we’ve heard the Royal Family detests this show, most of the events shown are ‘old news’ and the public has watched them play out for decades. Perhaps the dialogue is imaginary but it doesn’t seem disrespectful, at least to this viewer. Season 6 is to cover 1997-late 2000’s, and we can look forward to that final season’s dvd in late 2024 with pleasure and sadness together.

Imelda Staunton creeps me out
Reseñado en los Estados Unidos el 20 de octubre de 2023
This is a great series. I am glad I bought the DVD. However, the new actress for QE2 totally creeps me out. I know Imelda is a good actress, and possibly a very nice person, but she creeps me out. It may be the small eyes, I don't know.....Previous series are kind to the Queen. Casting this actress was not kind at all. The Prince Charles actor also has a creep factor. So my beef is with Casting. Now that I think of it, and casting overall is not as good as previous seasons. They should have aged the previous season's actors, maybe.

Greatly Enjoyed
Reseñado en los Estados Unidos el 26 de octubre de 2023
I binge watched this season as soon as it arrived. I greatly enjoyed the new Di & Charles actors, who are less screechy-voiced than the last set. But the new Queen actress is made rather pig-eyed and her make-up look, might have better worked in one of those killer-thriller movies. The story lines per episode are all fascinating and took me back to those events, as they were hitting the news. I wondered if they used real footage for some of the burning castle scenes? I really enjoyed the season, excepting a rather scary looking Queen, ha!
