‘The Crown’ Season 6 Part 2 Review: Netflix Drama Splutters to the Finish Line With an Exhausting Whimper

And so, the story finally comes to an end. “The Crown” splutters to the finish line and concludes not with a bang but an exhausted whimper. One of the jewels in Netflix’s ever-inflating roster of original series has seen its fair share of acclaim, controversy and speculation. The 21st century is just around the corner for the Windsors, and history has never been more recent for Peter Morgan’s drama. It seems that, the closer the show gets to the modern day, the more the writers struggle to (lightly) fictionalize events and figures who are extremely familiar to their target audience.
