There’s probably no better time than right now to get into The Crown. It’s not exactly a secret. The Emmy-winning historical drama has been one of the top Netflix shows since its debut in 2016 and has only increased in relevancy in the wake of the Royal Family’s continued twists and turmoil playing out in a very public way. Even Oprah watches The Crown, and that’s honestly as good of an endorsement as a series could even need.

The Crown tells the story of Queen Elizabeth II’s reign, beginning with her marriage to Prince Philip in 1947 and through all of the ups and downs into the 21st century. The series leaves no stone unturned in its exploration of the British Monarchy and its rich history of scandal, tragedy and notoriety. Since its premiere, The Crown has won a number of awards, most recently taking home Golden Globes for Emma Corrin and Gillian Anderson’s performances as Princess Diana and Margaret Thatcher. Ahead of the final season, this one’s a definite must-watch.

Verdict: WATCH
