What I did during Covid, Part 16: I discovered The Crown

Honestly, I really had only two reasons for watching this Netflix series: 1) recommended to me by someone I trust and 2) my mom was always highly interested in "the royals", I think because she was almost the same age as Elizabeth and clearly remembered her coronation as a young mother. So I kind of started watching as a way of honoring my mom. 

At first, the series was interesting to me; such a young woman with so much thrust upon her! And her father, King George, who never wanted to be king but, because his brother abdicated the throne to marry Wallis Simpson, it became his duty. Not a happy camper. 

Anyway, after he first two seasons (there are four), I started getting restless and the entire show became less upbeat. For me, during Covid, I need entertainment...it's easy enough to get kind of "down" with what passes now for "normal" life without watching unhappy things on TV. 

We eventually gave up The Crown and watched Hugh Grant and Julie Roberts in Notting Hill for about the 5th time. Upbeat! Happy ending! Yay!!
