The Crown: No Woman's Land (2022)
Season 5, Episode 7
6/10
Not as good as the last season was
12 November 2022
This season doesn't excite me as much as the last one. In particular, the portrayal of the Queen lacks complexity and at times dignity in my view. Charles seems less awkward than his role model in reality. His physical portrayal also doesn't remind me of the original. I didn't think Diana was played badly. I don't presume to judge the reality content, but a lot of things didn't seem entirely believable to me. The strong focus of individual episodes on secondary protagonists was well-intentioned, but disrupted the flow for me. The seventh episode is called "Niemandsland" in German, which can be translated as "Neverland" and could be seen as an allusion to Bashir's much criticized documentary of Michael Jackson's life. A reporter who probably didn't shy away from plunging others into their misfortune for his own fame.
