The Crown season 6 collapses a former Netflix tentpole

Netflix has released the first half of Season 6 of The Crown, which will be its final season since the series hasn’t caught up to the present day, but it will start somewhere in the late ’90s or early 2000s, apparently. Nothing important happened after that, right?

It’s the end of an era for Netflix as the show has been nominated for numerous awards and, at least in the past, has been considered one of their most prestigious shows. But season six? Not much.

The show has now been deeply obsessed with Princess Diana for three seasons now. She was introduced as a young girl in season four, but was completely consumed by seasons five and six, with the mid-season finale ending with her death.

There’s a reason for this show It has a score of 58% on Rotten Tomatoes In Season 6, compared to Seasons 1-4 it ranges between 88% and 96%. Everything about Diana is just a mess. All four episodes focus entirely on her relationship with Dodi Al Fayed, and while Elizabeth Debicki continues to play Diana perfectly, the series has lost something that previous seasons had, which is a broader portrait of the royal family and its many members. Events of their era. While it is clear that Diana He was So spent, they’ve now basically spent half the series on it, and in season six, things get goofy.

By far the craziest part of Season 6 is the decision to have Diana appear as some sort of Force ghost after her death. It appears for the sad Charles to say that he looked handsome when he looked at her body and she more or less forgives him for his treatment of her. She later appeared to Queen Elizabeth and explained why she needed to come out and mourn publicly for the sake of the country. I’m not kidding, this actually happened, and it’s understandable by critics and viewers alike.

It’s very strange to see a previously announced show fall off a cliff like this. Diana’s early work with Emma Corrin was good, and Season 4 was her most well-reviewed season. But then seasons five and six were nothing but The Diana show, which skipped several key events like Princess Anne’s near-kidnapping in 1974. How boring, right?

But no, it’s not interesting to watch four episodes of paparazzi hounding Diana, and Charles furious that pictures of her kissing Dodi appeared in the newspaper. Although Diana’s impact on Britain in life and death is enormous, it didn’t need to swallow up half the series, and on top of everything else, it wasn’t handled well at all with a ghost-based ending that feels silly and creepy. To be honest, this is kind of disrespectful to her memory.

Like many viewers, after six seasons, I feel like I should see this through to the end, but what a decline.
