Season 5 of The Crown

[milestogo]

5. I finished the whole season. (spoilers)

I have to say it wasn't that good. Seemed very scattered, and didn't really follow through on some of the story lines.

I watched the series "The Affair", in which Dominic West (who plays Charles) was an adulterer. I kept wondering if he specializes in adulterous roles.

Its hard to watch such a sad Diana, but I think its accurate. Royal marriages seem to carry the weight of high expectations- and like celebrity marriages- the public scrutiny doesn't help.

Things I learned: Diana and her brother were not really that close.. Her surgeon boyfriend was a really good man but couldn't deal with the publicity... Dodi was a cocaine user. Diana's life was more like a soap opera than a fairy tale.
