The first four seasons were simply superb with some genius casting - and accents to boot. The likes of Claire Foy and Matt Smith gave the show its charisma, along with incredible actors such as Pip Torrens and Alex Jennings, etc.. All fears of Matt Smith departing were allayed when Tobias Menzies stepped into the Prince Philip role.
However, Season 5 isn't quite on the money. Whilst the new queen is very good, and the Diana Spencer character unbelievably like the real Lady Di, Prince Charles is somewhat of a let down. He appears to have ditched his royal accent for that of a regular Joe. Dominic West might be conscious of portraying a crass caricature, but caricatures are what we want. Prince Philip is no longer on par either (was Charles Dance not available!?!) and James Hewitt appears to have been randomly chosen. The show is still very good, and the likes of Lady Di's character keep it together, but it's starting to feel like a BBC drama, which is a shame.

Gorgeously atmospheric, classy, witty, and romantic....whilst all the time factual. How I wish there were more films of this calibre. Possibly a little tricky to keep up with at times, this is nonetheless one of my favourite films this year.

If you want a great action thriller with exotic locations, charismatic leads, and fantastic action, you can't wrong with this! Ryan Gosling was fantastic, but Chris Evans owned it! Loved it!
