I really enjoyed seasons 1 and 2 with Claire Foy, but was disappointed with seasons 3 and 4. Seasons 5 and especially 6 then were far better than I had expected.

I really enjoyed seasons 1 and 2 with Claire Foy, but was disappointed with seasons 3 and 4. Seasons 5 and especially 6 then were far better than I had expected.

I loved the first two seasons, Claire was incredible. Initially, I was disappointed in season 3, but as time went on, and the third episode about Aberfan came on, I came around and by the end of season 4, I was sad to see Olivia and Toby leaving. That last show, with the background music, was beautiful. The fifth season was the disappointment to me, but I came around season six, and I think Imelda came into her own with her portrayal of the Queen. The last episode had me in tears. I wish they could have softened up Claire's part a little, I think she came off a little hard, but overall, sad but magical.

I thought Claire played it really well, I sensed her bewilderment of what was happening to her, her innocence in this male dominated world , her mothers influence , then gradually she finds herself, she will make the decisions. The loss of her early married years as a young family. Her isolation and I thought at times loneliness of the role.
Not so keen on Olivia, I didn’t feel it was the Queen. Although I didn’t like some of the storyline , I did like Imelda in the role. She had the shape. I felt it was the Queen.

Personally, I thought Seasons 2/4/6 were much better than Seasons 1/3/5, mainly because it seemed like it took that long for Colman and Staunton to come into HM. Claire had it right from the beginning, but Season 2 was just better and more entertaining overall.

Every season had multiple episodes that were great (and a few that were just good). I'd say Season 3 was the best, followed by Season 4. But, I loved the others, too, so it's hard to say.

The last episode of Season 6 may be the best series ending of all time.
