Foreign Friday - The Crown

While my son in law was visiting last May, he recommended that we try and watch the CROWN.  Although they just completed season 2 and are filming season 3, we thought we would give it a try.  We started watch Season 1 Episode 1 and we immediately said, we would continue watching.  Little did we know, we binge watch the next four episodes and it was getting late.  The next day we watch a few more and the next day we started watching after lunch.  It is very well done and it was very informative and entertaining.  Of course like any type of documentary, history, etc. there will be also some sort of issue that you don't agree or dislike and so on.  The biggest one is about marriage and the act that went in place.  What was weird is that they have all these rules for certain royalty and now a days it seems like they are a bit more easier on their position on marriages and divorces.  They talk about marriage being a concern for both the church and the government.  But would you say that it's a bit of turning the other cheek??  The church was so concern about single women marrying divorcees but do not have issues on priests committing unacceptable behavior towards young altar boys.  And what about royalties having an affair?  Do they just try to cover up everything?  Sorry, I am getting side tracked.  Anyway, we will continue to watch the rest of the episodes and will look forward to Season 3.  Everything seems foreign to me but after watching each episodes, I now have a bit more understanding of royalty and past history.  Maybe most of you have seen it already and just waiting for the next season.  If not, you might want to try a couple of episodes then decide.
