The Crown • Season 5 Ratings & Reviews
(All (Parentheses)) (Substack)
Keith Uhlich
The penultimate season leans so hard into metaphor that the characters can't help but remark on the fact in catty ways comparable to Rose Nylund's sick burn of Dorothy Zbornak in one of my favorite Golden Girls episodes.
Entertainment Weekly
Kristen Baldwin
Therein lies this year's theme: Tradition versus progress, the status quo versus a society in transition. And it all takes place against the backdrop of "The War of the Waleses," the very public battle between Charles and Diana.
NPR
Linda Holmes
Morgan settles into a sort of "flawed decent humans like everyone else, born into circumstances not of their choosing" viewpoint. It's humanizing, for lack of a better term.
The Atlantic
Shirley Li
Morgan's approach to the personal lives of the royals is too sympathetic to ever be damning. The new season of The Crown never risks challenging anyone's reputation. Instead, it merely risks its own as a compelling show.
Variety
Caroline Framke
This new season is, however, an especially egregious offender, with Morgan's scripts hammering their most obvious themes home with clattering thuds, pushing allegory after allegory with vanishingly little nuance.
The New Yorker
Inkoo Kang
Few premières have been as fervently anticipated as that of the Netflix series' latest season, the first following the Queen's death. But the ten episodes are a startling letdown -- a decline that parallels the monarchy's own.
BuzzFeed News
David Mack
It's Debicki who steals the show with an astonishing performance as Diana that rises above impersonation (although she does a perfect impersonation) and captures both her grace and darkness.
Chicago Sun-Times
Richard Roeper
We get a number of deep dives into subplots combining historical fact with imagined conversations and scenarios.
Washington Post
Ashley Fetters Maloy
As always with "The Crown," the strokes of genius lie in the selection of anecdotes, and the new season finds compelling stories to tell even about characters it has soured on.
NPR
Eric Deggans
I think this season asks some really fascinating questions and tells some compelling stories.
Chicago Tribune
Nina Metz
If the various players here weren't members of the Windsor family, would their lives be deemed interesting enough for a TV series? I would argue no - they're not compelling enough as characters.
Boston Globe
Matthew Gilbert
As it charts the royal family's continued expulsion from their pedestal in season five, The Crown remains as superbly written and as addictive as ever.
New York Times
Mike Hale
The two characters at the center remain opaque; Morgan resorts to the same shallow, sentimental notions of love gone sour and family inflexibility that were the stuff of public mythmaking.
USA Today
Kelly Lawler
Much like the British royal family in the 1990s, the series is beginning to show some cracks.
RogerEbert.com
Nandini Balial
Season Five is replete with terrific performances, especially from actors in recurring roles, but it's no longer enough. Writer and creator Peter Morgan's vision, like the monarchy circa 1990, is showing signs of strain.
Newsday
Verne Gay
Compulsively watchable, as usual, but also on the reverential side. This "Crown" has no teeth.
New York Magazine/Vulture
Jen Chaney
This many seasons into any show, viewers should feel like they know its characters very well. Too often, season five of The Crown makes them hard to recognize.
San Francisco Chronicle
Hannah Bae
The twin specters of grief and dread loom over the entire season.
Vanity Fair
Richard Lawson
The fifth season really zings when the show turns a hard gaze toward the maddening ways that Elizabeth and her cohort refuse compassion and adaptation.
Slant Magazine
Amanda Feinman
The show's fifth installment is both more simplistic and less coherent than past seasons.
