I have never seen such a more beautiful piece of television than The Crown! The true events this show covers are absolutely breathtaking. Not to mention the actors they choose to play these significant roles. Claire Foy killed it as young Queen Elizabeth during the first two seasons. However, it felt tough to say goodbye to the first cast because we have all become so used to them playing these roles, we can't see anyone else playing them. However, the show's creative team did not disappoint when the second cast, lead by Olivia Coleman as the Queen, took on the same roles. Season 4 was probably the best yet. This began to cover events that most of us remember. My mother and I watched the whole season in one day, and she gave me some side commentary on these events and said that she remembers it well. Overall, Season 4 was stunning. Considering it focused on three important women, Queen Elizabeth, Margaret Thatcher, and Princess Diana. However, Gillian Anderson stole the entire season as Thatcher. I loved how she recreated her voice. I have played clips of her and the real Thatcher and can barely hear a difference. I know for sure she will win an Emmy for this performance and Olivia Coleman for playing the Queen. And yet again, this season marked the end of another great cast. As we all know, Acting legend Imelda Staunton will be the next leading lady. I can't wait to see what the final two seasons with the new cast will have in store. I know the creative team won't disappoint. Overall, if you have Netflix and are looking for something to binge on or pass the time, this is the show!

We recently got HULU back earlier this year and I had little to no clue what The Handmaids Tale was about. I watched the first season and was immediately hooked. I binged this show in a matter of a few weeks. Truth be told, during these times, I don't have much to do, so binge-watching definitely helps. Now, there are some parts during this show that are EXTREMELY hard to watch, but the storyline is excellent. Margaret Atwood's story definitely comes to life in this show. Throughout the show, I have had thoughts of Gilead actually happening today under our current political leadership. But in the end, I am relieved that we will be having new leadership coming soon and the thought of Gilead rising in America can be put to rest for the next 4 years. Overall, I would encourage anyone to watch this program. Can't wait for the new season!

Since I heard about this show, I was completely blown away. The show really goes in-depth of what life was like in Hollywood during the Golden Age. Not to mention the cast is spectacular! A few to mention are Broadway stars. Patti LuPone (who is a legend) really embraces this character. She knows what she is doing! I predict this show will sweep the Limited Series Emmys! Ryan Murphy does it again!
