The Episode Review
This year’s season of “The Crown” feels like it is constantly moving and changing, with a lot of storylines going on at once. The Sully situation seems to be a way for the show to get him playing ball with Dushane, while Shelley’s past is coming back to haunt her too. There are also other larger storylines that are developing that could have a significant impact down the line.
The situation in Spain and Morocco is more interesting than the one in Dushane. It seems that someone has been leaking information, but it’s not clear what it is. Whether there’s more to this than that remains to be seen.
This conflict is far from over and as we near the halfway point of this season, everything is left wide open for where it may go next.
