I'm looking forward to this one. It's from the same writer who wrote the movie The Queen. Alan Sepinwall is one of the few reviewers who I trust and he gave it a glowing review http://www.hitfix.com/whats-alan-wa...at-wears-the-crown-in-great-new-netflix-drama . Not sure if it will be available world wide on Netflix but it will be available in the US on November 4.

I'm looking forward to this too, and am a fan of Claire Foy who also played Anne Bolyen in Wolf Hall (which was an amazing series).
I do like Anne Bolyen but never watched Wolf Hall. I will add that show to my list which is now longer than any Christmas list I had for Santa back when I was a kid !

It's fantastic to have a large so you can pick what you're in the mood to watch. I don't know where Wolf Hall is currently available except on DVD (Netflix has it) because it was a Masterpiece Theater miniseries. Here's a link: http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/masterpiece/programs/series/wolf-hall/. I wish the streaming PBS channel kept series available longer.
Thanks for the link. I just checked with the Phoenix library system and they have many copies so reserved a copy at my local branch. Should be available for me to check out in a week or so 
In the meantime I am catching up with season 3 of The Fall and should be done with that in time to watch The Crown this weekend.

That's awesome that your library system has Wolf Hall. I'd like to see it again, so wil probably do the same thing. I need to get onboard with The Fall after all the enthusiasm for it here. Maybe I'll start it this weekend.

I enjoyed watching it especially several last evening during the election news. One casting bit I found interesting is that Victoria Hamilton, who played the Queen Mother, also played Anna in Doctor Foster, two very different parts done well by her.
The scene that was most gut wrenching for me in the entire series was when the Queen Mother was in Scotland walking on the beach with her new friend talking about the castle and the official stops her and tells her she has to go back to London. The look on her face nearly drove me to tears. Great acting by Victoria Hamilton.
