SERIELAND RECO - What is "The Crown" season 4 worth, which hits Netflix on November 15th?
Are the characters of Lady Di and Margaret Thatcher successful?
With Delphine Rivet, journalist for Konbini and OCS, and Pierre Found, journalist for "Le Monde" and the author of the book "The Crown, the true of the false", Eva Roque spends season 4 with a scalpel, and looks back on the first 3 seasons in order to distinguish reality from fiction ... This week, our team of serivores also recommend "Quiz" and "A Very English Scandal", on Salto and "Derby Girl" on Francetv Slash.
Fans have been impatiently awaiting it, the new season of
The Crown
arrives on Netflix this Sunday, October 15, 2020. In this 4th season, the series, which tells the life and reign of Queen Elizabeth II in the United Kingdom, takes place between 1977 and 1990, when a woman came to power: a certain Magaret Tchatcher.
As for private life, this period marks the arrival of Lady Di.
The stage is set.
The series oscillates between royal life and its artifices and British political life shaken by the recession and the Falklands War.
To decipher The Crown from top to bottom, SERIELAND invited a journalist who fact-checked the series, Pierre Found, co-author of the book
The Crown: the true from the false
, and journalist to
Le Monde.
And to dive into the secrets of British royalty Eva Roque is accompanied by a new serivore: Delphine Rivet, journalist specializing in series on Konbini and OCS.
Are there any historical errors in
The Crown
?
How is this a highly political series?
What image does she convey of the royal family?

The other series not to be missed: "Quiz"
It's a British nugget.
Quiz, available on the new Salto streaming platform, is performed by James Graham.
Inspired by real events, it is the story of a family who passes all the stages of selection for the game

But soon, he will find himself suspected of cheating.

Eva Roque's favorite "Derby Girl"
Deby Girl
humorously plunges you into the world of roller derby, a rather violent contact sport that is practiced on roller skates.
The discipline has become a real phenomenon and has attracted many young women in recent years.
The heroine, Lola, is going to try it out after a broken career in figure skating.
She joins the "Cannibal Unicorns", a team ... completely zero.
The heroine of the series is played wonderfully by Chloé Jouannet, the daughter of Thomas Jouannet and Alexandra Lamy!
There is no doubt this series will appeal to your teenagers.
10 episodes x 20 minutes available on Francetv Slash (2020)
The guest's favorite: "A Very English Scandal"
This is Pierre Found's favorite:
A Very English Scandal,
another series by Stephen Frears available on Salto, traces the story of a sexual and political scandal in the United Kingdom in the 1970s. Even our fact-checker professional says it, everything is true in the series, to the last detail.
And the cast is enticing with Hugh Grant and Ben Whishaw.
If you needed a last argument to convince you: the screenwriter is none other than Russel T. Davies, to whom we owe the revival of
Doctor Who
or
Years and Years.
You might as well say that the writing is remarkable.
3 episodes x 60 minutes available on Salto (2018)
