As an episode of the Crown it was okay, but by far not the best - slow in places and full of exposition.
What makes me quite angry is Jonathan Pryce. We see so many actors that have studied their subject and embodied it. Across the board, you can see the effort they have put in. Princess Diana is quite remarkable, albeit channeling the BBC interview a little too much in every scence. The queen isn't quite right, but the voice and cadence is spot on. They have studied.
Jonathan Pryce snaps me out of the universe they are creating. He plays... Jonathan Pryce. He hasn't put the slightest effort into being Price Philip.
And I can almost imagine him saying "I'm not an impressionist, I'm actor. I act."
And he acts as he normally does.
I feel it's massively disrespetful to the fellow actors who have put in an effort.
