Season 4
The Crown

Critics Consensus

Whatever historical liberties The Crown takes in its fourth season are easily forgiven thanks to the sheer power of its performances - particularly Gillian Anderson's imposing take on The Iron Lady and newcomer Emma Corrin's embodiment of a young Princess Diana.

Critic Reviews for The Crown Season 4

All Critics (63) | Top Critics (21)

Gillian Anderson might be the best Thatcher ever seen on screen. Hers is not so much an impersonation as an inhabitation.

Nov 16, 2020 | Full Review…

10 episodes of television that may not be uniformly among the show's finest, but which are somehow its most authentic.

Nov 13, 2020 | Full Review…

This new set of episodes continues to give us both the long run and the short, the epic and the specific, as it goes from strength to strength.

Best season yet.

Top Critic

The Crown observes that the royals' failures can more often than not be self-inflicted -- and in doing so, the show produces its most thrilling and biting season yet.

Nov 11, 2020 | Full Review…

Corrin is startlingly good at capturing the princess' charismatic shimmer. Her Diana is silly and eager for attention... Yet this winsome young woman also exudes warmth, decency and fun.

Perhaps the best and most riveting season of the series yet.

Nov 16, 2020 | Rating: 5/5 | Full Review…

This season has finally added the last, previously missing piece: a universally gripping narrative.

Nov 16, 2020 | Full Review…

There is a welcome, absorbing quality to jumping back into "The Crown."

Nov 16, 2020 | Full Review…

The entrances of Emma Corrin as Princess Diana and Gillian Anderson as Margaret Thatcher steal the show with tour-de-force performances, but the whole cast elevates their game in The Crown's most powerful season yet.

Nov 16, 2020 | Full Review…

The characters are excellently utilized by the acting quality. [Full review in Spanish]

Nov 16, 2020 | Full Review…

The emotionally charged fourth season of The Crown is a staggering achievement.

    Wish there was more detail in quite a bit of this section of history covered, but in all ten solid episodes.

    Probably a more interesting series when it was covering events we were less familiar with. Now it is getting into recent territory, it was always going to be harder to deliver, and it is struggling for me to stay above "yawn". Dianna's nymph like entrance in the 1st episode is downright corny (embarrassing), Charles and Anne are again in this series the most believable. Anderson as Thatcher is a good portrayal, but she (Thatcher) was such an unlikeable character historically anyway. At this stage struggling to maintain interest.

    I understand Britain loves to hide emotion, but come on- does this show have to be so cold and emotionless even on NETFLIX? A thorough exercise in gross privilege and detestable characters. While the Crown is informative, it struggles to hit the accelerator and deliver stunning blows and exciting moments. Rather, it illustrates what could be fascinating, and instead sort of meanders around the edges.

    Superb. Gillian Anderson gives a masterclass as Thatcher, putting Streep's histrionics to shame.

    The Crown's best season yet! This will be a grandslam in awards. Maggie, HRM, and Diana have unique roles in modernizing the monarchy we see today.

    Gillian Anderson' performance is masterful. My respect for her is new, and unexpectedly deep. Will update after further screen time with Emmq Corrin.
