When did The Crown jump the shark? 🦈

Season 5, Episode 1

The Crown is perceived to have 'jumped the shark' in Season 5 due to a combination of factors. The change in the main cast, particularly with Imelda Staunton taking over as Queen Elizabeth II, marked a significant shift. Additionally, some viewers felt that the historical events covered in this season were less engaging or not handled with the same depth as previous seasons. The portrayal of certain characters and events led to criticisms about historical accuracy and dramatic interpretation, which contributed to a decline in reception.
