    I've watched it all so spoilers I guess, but the only IRA stuff is in the first episode, and then is completely ignored for the rest of the season so they can focus on the bad marriages of the most privileged people on the planet. And while Thatcher is portrayed as this weird, out-of-touch lizard (to the point where she comes off as more prissy than the fucking queen), they downplay her austerity policies as just causing some unemployment lol. Totally skips over the miner's strike and instead commends her action for retaking the Falklands from those pesky Argentines, and then ends with the Queen congratulating her for being such a successful girlboss.
