Questions of propriety about the fifth season of "The Crown" premiering two months after Queen Elizabeth II's death are largely eclipsed by other issues, as the Netflix series reloads with new prestige talent in key roles and old troubles, while feeling more disjointed than unusual. The result is an uneven campaign that reinforces a sense the Emmy-winning series risks extending its reign too long.
The discomfort associated with those public flareups falls upon the new Prime Minister, John Major , who recognizes the dynamics of what's happening better than the key players, which doesn't make his role any less uncomfortable for him. Still, given the focus on Diana and Charles during this decade, the digressions seem more pronounced -- and in some instances, questionable -- this season, from the plight of Princess Margaret , who hasn't entirely made peace with her past, to an extensive detour into the backstory of Dodi and Mohamed al-Fayed , Diana's eventual boyfriend and his status-obsessed wealthy father, in whose eyes the younger man can never achieve enough.
