7 points about the controversial series “Taj” / new escape route to avoid accusations

Charso Press: Sir John Major – the former British Prime Minister – and Judi Dench – the British actress – have doubted the accuracy and authenticity of the “Taj” series, and Netflix has considered it a fictional drama in defense of its production. In order to abdicate responsibility and as an escape route to avoid criticism, Netflix has emphasized that the “Taj” series is only inspired by reality.

In the continuation of this report, BBC Arabic has reviewed seven points about the fifth season of the “Crown” series, which was controversial.

Difficulty distinguishing fantasy from reality

The closer the “Crown” series gets to the present, the more important it is to distinguish truth from fantasy or distorted reality.

The fifth season of the series takes place in the 90s of the last century; When Queen Elizabeth, played by Imelda Stanton, lives in the mid-sixties. His children’s relationships fail, and the topic that has become controversial is that the series refers to Prince Philip’s romantic relationship with a woman who was 32 years younger than him.

In one scene, the Duke of Edinburgh, played by Jonathan Pryce, expresses his disappointment in their marriage to the Queen. The BBC has stated that, “Taj” series is so believable that it is difficult for the viewer to distinguish fantasy from reality. In a situation where many facts of the royal family remain unknown and in a halo of ambiguity, the fictional stories of the series can fill in the blanks and seem real and believable to many.

Disgruntled Prime Minister

John Major played by Johnny Lee Miller

John Major, the Prime Minister of Great Britain at the time, has reacted critically to the fifth season of the series and described it as “malicious nonsense” for pointing out that Prince Charles intended to force the Queen to abdicate.

Although his character is well portrayed in the series with the role of Johnny Lee Miller, and he is the attention of the queen and the educated class of the country during the series.

The brilliance of Elizabeth Debicki

Princess Diana and Prince Charles starring Elizabeth Debicki and Dominic West

The hesitant voice, bowed head, shy look through the eyelashes, special clothes and short hair are all characteristic features of Princess Diana, which is well performed by Elizabeth Debicki (actress). While Dominic West appeared in the role of Prince Charles, it is clear that his appearance is more attractive and stunning than the real Prince Charles.

The role of “BBC” in the fifth season

BBC is one of the main topics in the fifth season of “Taj” series. The Queen’s trust in the British Public Broadcasting Service and, on the other hand, Diana’s controversial interview with the “Panorama” program, are among the topics of interest this season. The BBC said it would never broadcast the interview again, but scenes from it were recreated in the series. In this chapter, the emergence of satellite networks has also been discussed.

The Queen resists changing her TV, but Prince William tells her that if she has a satellite dish, she can watch horse racing whenever she wants.

The huge cost of making the “Taj” series

It is said that each episode of the “Taj” series costs about 10 million pounds sterling; Although Peter Morgan – the writer of the series – has rejected this issue, but in this season, the issue of the high budget of the series has been raised. Expensive cars and royal palaces attract the attention of the audience in scenes of the series.

Is Britain living in the past?

“The Crown” has taken a comprehensive look at Britain, but perhaps only focused on what people believe.

The series showcases the glory of British royalty. Luxurious dinners, aristocratic entertainments, as well as the pleasant manners of the English are shown to the viewer. For some, this image brings the view that Britain is a country that is drowning in its past glory, but for others, it is a reminder of the rich history of this European country.

The complexity of the characters in the series

Man is a complex creature and the characters of “Taj” series are no exception.

The BBC claims: The issue that is being discussed is that the relationship of Prince Charles – the current king of Britain – with his ex-wife Princess Diana, as well as his attempt to establish his role in the unjust royal family, is depicted in the series “The Crown”.

In the fifth chapter, Peter Morgan’s skill in portraying the complexity of human characters is not far from the eyes of the audience.
