But television is capable of so much more. Nov 21, 2017 | Rating: B- | Full Review… Ben Travers indieWire Top Critic In all, series two has slightly less to say than the first, even if it is covering rather more tumultuous times. Nov 21, 2017 | Rating: 4/5 | Full Review… Ben Lawrence Daily Telegraph (UK) Top Critic Like the Royal family, it feels as if The Crown relishes its indulgences once in a while. Nov 21, 2017 | Full Review… Brandon Katz Observer Top Critic Philip is dignified in one moment, a misogynist fool in the next; Matt Smith is superb in this role. Nov 21, 2017 | Full Review… Anna Brain Herald Sun (Australia) Top Critic Morgan not only has a series to match his 2006 Oscar-winning movie, The Queen, but finally one to exceed it. The Crown -- the second season, anyway -- is magnificent. Dec 7, 2017 | Rating: 4/4 | Full Review… Verne Gay Newsday Top Critic I'm assuming that creator Peter Morgan meant for it to be comedy. There's really no other explanation for why Jeremy Northam played Prime Minister Anthony Eden like he's having a nervous breakdown in every scene. Dec 7, 2017 | Full Review… Phil Owen TheWrap Top Critic Helping cement how the palace wishes to be seen. This is a show so conservatively royalist in its myth-making, even Her Majesty is said to enjoy it. Jan 31, 2019 | Full Review… Ani Bundel NBC News THINK As with the first series, The Crown's cinematography deserves a big, royal fanfare. Jan 16, 2019 | Full Review… Catherine Pearson Digital Spy This 10-episode second season of The Crown is on one level a thoroughly entertaining exalted workplace drama where the setting is palaces, country homes and the changing monarchy of a declining Britain. Jan 5, 2019 | Full Review… Dominic Patten Deadline Hollywood Daily Slow, at times. But the way The Crown... keeps the audience guessing about marriages we already know the ending to is anything but boring.
