November 9, 2020 'Whatever historical liberties The Crown takes in its fourth season are easily forgiven thanks to the sheer power of its performances - particularly Gillian Anderson's imposing take on The Iron Lady and newcomer Emma Corrin's embodiment of a young Princess Diana.'
'After a subpar Season3, it turns out that what this ongoing narrative of Queen Elizabeth really needed was an enemy - or two. In a season with the most pop culture audience pressure riding on it - because of the Princess Diana factor, there is no doubt that people who have never watched a single second of “The Crown” before now will tune in - Peter Morgan’s show delivers its best yet.'
'The Crown observes that the royals' failures can more often than not be self-inflicted -- and in doing so, the show produces its most thrilling and biting season yet.'
'The dramatic pacing of this season is very intelligent, as is its decision to leap beyond the palace walls from time to time to illustrate the straitened circumstances of those at the wrong end of Mrs Thatcher's laissez-faire capitalist experiments.'
'Corrin is startlingly good at capturing the princess' charismatic shimmer. Her Diana is silly and eager for attention... Yet this winsome young woman also exudes warmth, decency and fun.'
'Anderson's transformation is mesmerizing, not least the feeble, raspy voice that belies the strength and ruthlessness with which Thatcher sets about her business.'
'Sadly, what we get here from the Peter Morgan-created series is substantially tweaked timelines and substandard soap that is far less "character" and more live-action spitting image caricature.'
