The finale and the entire season for that matter was anti climactic
This season was not keeping up with the pace and character theme of previous seasons especially when portraying Charles, Dominic west (though is a great actor ) doesn't look at all like the real Charles & his approach to the role was not keeping up with theme and amazing performances of O'Conner - maybe with recent events they had to make adjustments to improve Charles image , portraying him in a more sympathetic way - but those last minute changes made the show inconsistent and un-engaging at times
For the first time while watching the crown , I found myself bored and wondering where is this going and what's the point of these scenes , they felt very scattered
An example is mou mou episode , although one of the best episodes of the season with an amazing performance ( i found the Fayed's storyline very interesting ) it just didn't add up to the rest of the season and I kept waiting for things to add up but the show ended without connecting the dots
I don't know if they chose to skip portraying Diana's accident all together or if they have postponeded to the next season , but I think everyone was waiting for the event that shocked the world ! While the show ended at very neutral point
Elizabeth performance was award winning ! She kept up with Emma's portrayal of Diana, while developing her own visio. You can see , hear and feel Diana in every scene
This season in particular had so much potential but it came up Mediocre with disappointing finale.
