I don't know how to say anything bad about
The Crown
or
The Good Fight
, but maybe I have to learn how to do it.
Nothing happens either when you tell your friends that they have crossed the line (or stripes), that they are dressed as the scarecrow of the melons or that leaving the party now would be a good idea.
So I proceed to tell
The Crown
and
The Good Fight
that it's time to leave the party
.
The Good Fight,
which is smarter, listens to me.
The Robert and Michelle King series says goodbye for good.
He does it with a season in which his virtues are more virtues than ever and his defects too.
Difficult to go back into it when it has thrown you out with one of its meta-narrative games or various leftovers.
She who can
And she who knows that she does not have to return in a few months with a new delivery.
Diane Lockhart can shut down the bar doing whatever she wants.
The case of
The Crown
is different
.
Its third phase, corresponding to seasons 5 and 6 (last) has debuted with divided opinions.
For the first time, it seems that the detractors of royal fiction (more the first than the second, it must always be emphasized) of Peter Morgan are winning.
The Diana that he writes and Elisabeth Debicki interprets is not convincing.
That it's just outfits and pouting, they say.
And I ask: is it not that the narrative decision that Morgan has made with the character irritates us?
It's a somewhat cowardly decision, but it's yours.
And it is that, as it happened in the previous seasons (phase 2), where Emma Corrin was Diana,
the author thinks about it a lot before inventing Diana like crazy
.
Now he thinks about it even more and his Diana has touches of fan fiction.
Or hater fiction, since the creator of
The Crown
(who is also the creator, let's never forget, of
The Queen
)
is not as subjugated by the figure of Lady Di as many viewers.
Also, by now there should be no problem acknowledging something that Queen Elizabeth herself pretty much officially assumed in real life: that
Camilla had always been the better choice.
The fifth season of
The Crown
tackles
the famous tampax-gate.
You know, that phone conversation between Carlos and his lover at the time and then his wife and then the queen.
It may also be annoying that the series now tells things that we clearly remember
.
The public already feels entitled to an opinion as potential writers of the
Netflix series.
Peter Morgan, who did not know how to foresee that climate, has not counterattacked preventively by offering his best writing, the most distilled, the most perfect.
Others say Dominic West is too hot to play Prince Charles.
And few say that the first conflict of the fifth season of
The Crown
is that of the queen (Imelda Staunton) with the scale.
If Peter Morgan wanted to humanize the monarch, I can't think of a better way.
I've changed my mind: I don't want
The Crown
's party to end.
Never.
