Her watching that shit really breaks my heart, but my efforts to bully her into spotting the horrid propaganda are slowly working.

        Also saying that "Thatcher is presented as a working class feminist hero" is an absolute wild take about that show. She's presented unambiguously as a huge piece of shit in both her personal and political lives. There are many pains taken to show how she hates all women other than herself because they're "weak" and there's an entire episode dedicated to the absurdity of the Falklands War and the terrible damage she did to British society by dismantling social services. It's not a left wing show but the Thatcher depiction is extremely negative.

            I've found the previous seasons to be annoying but I'm enjoying this one a lot and it's because of Thatcher and everything around her. You should really stick it out and pay attention at least to the episode about the guy breaking into the queen's bedroom. I haven't gotten past that one yet, but that is legitimately a fucking great episode of television.

          Also, I've only seen the trailer, but Agent Scully's Thatcher impression is scary

    Lord Mountbatten was a pedophile who deserved being bombed

      Huh, apparently he was portrayed as le wholesome great uncle that tried to do a coup but was affective towards the husband and son of the queen. Turns out he was a rolemodel for Andrew too, who haven't been mentioned yet

        Technically, TV show are going in movies, there was even a Crown-based posting about 12 hours ago there.

        But the bit "bot" is annoying and can eat shit, for sure.

          Tbh I sorta get it. The whole point of the different subforums is to allow people to customize what shows up in their feed better, but imo there isnt enough activity on the site yet to reliably do that
