The Crown (2016)
Caused me to read and research British History
Never had much interest in the UK or the Royal family and I couldn't tell you much about the UK except that Scotland doesn't want to be a part of it for the most park and my family genealogy goes back to 1670 there. I find it silly that people are calling for a disclaimer from Netflix that this series is fictional. It's obvious there is creative license being shared when a private meeting or behind closed doors events occur. Regardless of if it's inaccurate or dramatised after watching this series I've spent hours upon hours reading about the events depicted in The Crown. I never would have heard or known about Aberfan disaster, progressive influence to the monarchy by Prince Phillip, the great smog event, or Buckingham burning. I didn't find the last season with Princess Diana disturbing as I remember vividly the media reports and attention during the fiasco of a divorce, the affairs and her death. Overall it's a stunning series and in depth where one wouldn't consider than the then Prince of Wales learned Welsh not understand the significance of that, they could have left it out but they didn't and that's why this series is so good.
Clarkson's Farm (2021)
Truly entertaining the Clarkson way
Love the farm, love the support but Clarkson doesn't do himself any favours. You can see some of the scenes being set up before it hit's it's someone anticlimax or miserable failure.
Would love if he was more real with the realities of farm life for a non-farmer without all the scripts. It's not just entertaining but very informative of how the farming community works and the real challenges they face to bring food to our table. Would like to see him engage positively more with the community. His wife also needs to be featured more. Overall love having him on my TV and look forward to the next season(s).
