Netflix Series Hits No. 1 on Charts Despite Controversy
'Brilliant'
"Probably repeating what many other people have said, but Season 5 of [The Crown] is brilliant," tweeted one fan. "Elizabeth Debicki is incredible as Diana and Imelda Staunton is great as the Queen. The series does however serve as a painful reminder of the horrid ordeal Diana went through."

prevnextRomanovs
By reminding everyone that the royal family was ultimately responsible for not saving the Romanovs, #TheCrown is engaging in a level of historical pettiness I have no choice but to stan.

"If you'd asked me to make a list of things I expected from series 5 of The Crown, I'd have been going for about 5 years before I got to 'a 10 minute long recreation of the assassination of the Romanovs,'" one viewer reacted.

I used to like the Royal Family before I started watching #TheCrown .. Season 5 really hammering the fact that they are all just a pack of spoilt wankers ! 👑🇬🇧 #TheCrownNetflix pic.twitter.com/ZEuXjuCmZX

"After having watched a few episodes of [The Crown] season 5, I totally understand why the Royal family didn't want it to be released," added somebody else, going on to pointedly write, "It DOES NOT make them look good at all. The constant gaslighting of Diana was not a great look and it reminds us that Charles and Camilla are trash."

#TheCrown is FICTION, that means it’s mostly MADE UP, it’s not a documentary !!!

"I loved the first couple seasons of [The Crown] and I understand artistic license, but the last season and now this one... I can't watch," wrote one person. "I'm already seeing the complete lies being spread by people who don't understand this is a work of fiction. It's disgusting."
