If you're a history buff and enjoy spending hours on Netflix, you'll appreciate this. Here's a list of my favorite TV shows. Some of therm are either inspired by true events or have historical value.
We would be remiss not to include in this list the wildly popular Netflix Original series The Crown, which follows the young Queen Elizabeth II from the 1940s through to modern times.
Rumoured to cost a whopping $130 million to produce – making it the most expensive television show ever– the first two series of The Crown star Claire Foy as Queen Elizabeth and Matt Smith as Prince Philip. Set across 10 lavish episodes, the first series spans from Elizabeth’s marriage to Philip Mountbatten in 1947 to the final days of Winston Churchill’s premiership, and also explores Princess Margaret’s heart-breaking, doomed relationship with divorcee Peter Townsend. Series two, meanwhile, explores the difficulties in the royal marriage and tackles the controversial suggestion that Prince Philip was unfaithful. Both series are available to watch now on Netflix. The fourth series, which will see Olivia Colman and Tobias Menzies take over as the Queen and the Duke of Edinburgh, is expected to air in November 2020. |
