If you are looking to fill that Downton Abbey sized hole in your heart, Netflix has something to patch you up. Full of all the glitz, glamour, and ambition of a royal family clashing with modern politics, The Crown takes an intimate look at Queen Elizabeth II’s (Claire Foy) rise to power and the early days of her reign. Set in the late 1940s and early 50s, The Crown explores a war-fatigued Britain in the wake of WWII and the aftermath of a nation that was once a world superpower.
