The Crown • Season 1 Ratings & Reviews
NPR
Eric Deggans
As a rebellious American, I think what's missing here is the voice of the British people. Without them, "The Crown" gives us little sense how the marriages and mishaps of a mostly ceremonial monarchy could still inspire a great nation.
TIME Magazine
Daniel D'Addario
It's worth noting quite how well-made The Crown is.
Detroit Free Press
Julie Hinds
When Netflix does a genre, it usually does it right. The Crown looks to be highbrow drama that understands history is most compelling when it reveals the personal turmoil and struggles of public figures.
Vox
Emily St. James
Even if The Crown can never quite make up its mind about whether this quality of power and the monarchy is a good or bad thing, its eagerness to wrestle with that question makes the series fascinating, one of the better Netflix dramas in some time.
IndieWire
Ben Travers
Netflix's lavish production ticks all the boxes of a royal awards contender: impeccable craftsmanship, sterling performances and a historical story. But all that polish may have dulled its edge.
AV Club
Caroline Siede
Because this is a story filled with British repression and propriety, the job of conveying subtext falls on The Crown's actors even more so than it usually does in a drama. And the show's stacked ensemble all prove more than up to the task.
New York Times
Neil Genzlinger
This is a thoughtful series that lingers over death rather than using it for shock value; one that finds its story lines in small power struggles rather than gruesome palace coups.
MTV
Inkoo Kang
Sumptuous and stately, The Crown's prestige trappings can't conceal its repetitiveness or narrative padding.
Wall Street Journal
Dorothy Rabinowitz
[It's] the most distinguished portrayal in a series crowded with outstanding performances.
Salon.com
Melanie McFarland
It's... one of the streaming service's most thoughtful offerings yet, making it worthy of slower digestion.
New York Magazine/Vulture
Matt Zoller Seitz
Harris's performance alone makes The Crown worth watching.
Observer
Victoria Edel
It's very moving and will make you grateful to live in 2016. But it is a little gross.
Newsday
Verne Gay
The Crown is the TV equivalent of a long drive through the English countryside. The scenery keeps changing, but remains the same. You nod off, then wake up - to see more of the same.
USA Today
Robert Bianco
What you get for your 10-hour investment, beyond a first-class, worldwide tour of the royal life, is an insightful script from Peter Morgan... immeasurably enhanced by a flawless cast - led by Claire Foy as the young Elizabeth.
Washington Post
Hank Stuever
Every crumb of Netflix's Buckingham Palace drama The Crown is scrumptious, all 10 hours of it.
Village Voice
Joyce Millman
Much of The Crown fluidly portrays crucial moments that changed British society forever.
Boston Globe
Matthew Gilbert
The Crown is magnificent, regardless of its heroine's even-keeled image, an image that once inspired her uncle, King Edward VIII, to secretly call her "Shirley Temple."
Slate
Willa Paskin
It is a drama that passionately and elegantly makes the case for the virtues of stasis, dullness, and being behind the times, an intellectually provocative line that does not quite lend itself to a 20-hour television series. Six might have been perfect.
St. Louis Post-Dispatch
Gail Pennington
The Crown is as beautifully filmed as could be, with scenes in Malta and Kenya as well as Balmoral in Scotland. The costuming is meticulous, as is the choreography of everything from dressing to mealtime to a train trip.
AV Club
Gwen Ihnat
Given the recent crop of horrifying Windsor-based TV movies attempting to capture the romance of Wills and Kate or the tragedy of Diana, The Crown easily rises far above, adding a cinematic quality to a complex and intricate time for an intimate family.
