[QUOTE="Crimson, post: 416161, member: 5079"] The French seem pretty good at cancelling their royals. [IMG]https://38.media.tumblr.com/8bcfb4013249fb112ed2d3bd354813b6/tumblr_nbcfeupADu1tyfqs1o1_500.gif[/IMG] Well I was known to occasionally yell at DALLAS, "Just move off Southfork and most of your problems are solved!" Although I never entirely overlooked that this was based on real people and events, I too mostly viewed THE CROWN as a soap. One notable lesson: melodrama and emotional honesty go together better than expected, something the classic soaps seldom even attempted. Perhaps my favorite scene in the entire series was the death of Princess Alice. An elderly lady wryly facing her own death-by-old-age was more poignant and dramatic than any flamboyant soap opera death. (Although flamboyant death-by-IRA-assassin we pretty effective too.)
