I also find it amusing that the one thing the royals complained about about not being accurate was something really tedious which makes me think it might be closer to the truth than you'd imagine. One thing watching it though was I didn't think I could despise the institution more than I already did. Yup I was actually going to say that not one of them comes across as likeable! It is the historic aspects I am finding interesting. I have been googling to find out what was actually reported to see how close it is to that and there does seem to be quite a bit of correlation. I can see a lot how the family are being portrayed too as being not far off the mark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I saw a trailer last night and thought it looked good. I did have half a bottle of wine in me right enough 😁 Coincidentally my brother texted the morning a whatsap group chat to say it was brilliant . I trust his judgement so will give it a go.

I really need to have characters eased in 1 or 2 at a time rather than a whole townful on the first show. 😂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was saved by the family tree thing you got with the DVD box set . I started by splitting the characters into goodies and baddies then worked from there 😁 Glad I stuck with it though as it was fantastic.

I thought it was a fantastic commentary on modern life, Everyone too busy, too celebrity obsessed, not having the attention span or too worried about how they would look in the political polls to notice what they were being told, the world is just about to be destroyed, definitely worth a watch Edited January 3, 2022 by chaff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He seems to come off the worst of the lot of them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
