No going back

dont even fink about it posted:

King George's death is made insanely melodramatic, for example. Never has a vacation been more ruined. 12,000 dead of smog is an important lesson in leadership for a bunch of people who did nothing about it.

I don't think being upset at the death of your father and suddenly becoming Queen when you thought you had years left to prepare is melodramatic. That's a whole lot happening and a ruined vacation is the least of it.

The smog is, as far as I can tell looking it up, fairly accurate to history in terms of reactions, so what would you have preferred them to do? Not have it happen? Make something up about the Queen's grand environmental crusade following it?

The show is primarily about the Queen and her immediate family. It's going to be told from her perspective and based on her real life actions. Whether that is interesting to you is a personal preference, but if I wanted an objective summary of British history from the last 70 years I'd seek out a different source.
