A barrel of nonsense... A storm of criticism as the series "The Crown 5" approaches, and "Netflix" adds an alert
The platform added that the work is "fictional" based on real facts. About "Netflix"
Netflix added at the bottom of the promotional clip for its series “The Crown,” which deals with the life of the late Queen Elizabeth II of Britain and achieved widespread public success, a phrase explaining that it is a “fictional” work based on real facts, after sharp criticism from British personalities.
And the sentence: “This fictional dramatic work, based on real facts, tells the story of Queen Elizabeth II and the political and personal events that marked her reign,” is found at the bottom of the series’ trailer on YouTube and the Netflix website.
The platform has so far refrained from responding to requests by adding this alert.
However, criticism of the series escalated with the launch of the fifth season on the ninth of next November.
Former British Prime Minister John Major described the series as a "barrel of bullshit" after British media reported that the fifth season showed Charles trying to unseat the Queen in the 1990s, and his pressure on Major to get his mother to abdicate.
As for actress Judi Dench, who played Queen Victoria in the series, she also criticized him, describing him as a "cruelly unjust" to the royal family.
The Oscar-winning actress, who is close to King Charles and his wife on "Netflix", said that she "blurred the lines between historical accuracy and crude sensationalism", fearing that "a large number of viewers" would believe that the series expresses the historical truth.
In the Daily Telegraph, the Queen Mother biographer William Shawcross described the series as "abhorrent" and full of "lies and half-truths".
The new season of “The Crown”, which is considered one of the biggest successes of “Netflix”, is shown in conjunction with the beginnings of the reign of Charles (73 years), after the death of his mother, Elizabeth II, last month.
