Critics Reviews

• “The penultimate season leans so hard into metaphor that the characters can’t help but remark on the fact in catty ways comparable to Rose Nylund’s sick burn of Dorothy Zbornak in one of my favorite Golden Girls episodes.” – Keith Uhlich ((All (Parentheses))

• “Therein lies this year’s theme: Tradition versus progress, the status quo versus a society in transition. And it all takes place against the backdrop of “The War of the Waleses,” the very public battle between Charles and Diana.” – Kristen Baldwin (Entertainment Weekly)

• “Morgan settles into a sort of “flawed decent humans like everyone else, born into circumstances not of their choosing” viewpoint. It’s humanizing, for lack of a better term.” – Linda Holmes (NPR)

• “It’s Debicki who steals the show with an astonishing performance as Diana that rises above impersonation (although she does a perfect impersonation) and captures both her grace and darkness.” – David Mack (BuzzFeed News)
