blrnani I only award 1 because 0 is not an option, since there are no redeeming features to what is probably the worst film I have ever seen - with the possible exception of a few 'comedies' that aimed at stupid for laughs. That this could have been a serious attempt to explore a 'what if' scenario is laughably pathetic and suggests the writer actually thinks the UK is run by nursery school children. For anybody wishing to see how this could/should have been done, read Shaw's "The Apple Cart" and/or see the TV adaptation made at a time when the BBC knew it had a higher mission in life.

rjones2818 *General spoilers ahead* I do think that Charles is the hero of the piece. He does what is right. His family, of course, are the heels of this play/movie. Kate is Lady Macbeth. Prince William is basically nothing. Harry gives up love to support his brother.It's very good.

mihai_chindris As people mourn the death of the queen, Prince Charles prepares to become the king of the monarchy. All things good, we get the idea, but I feel like the movie emphasizes more the characters, than the action itself. Plus, it seems like the situation presented turns into a game with no end, but we already know how things may change. I mean, it's obvious that in a moment when things go wrong, the only solution for the man in power is to give up, right? I just think that the movie could have come up an impartial opinion on how things evolve after the tragic event and let the public decide what path, good or bad, the king may choose.

peterk727 This was a dreadful series. Only if you like watching someone show dysfunctional people could it possibly be of any interest. The series, while fictitious, is so terribly done it is a waste of your time. There were several times where they employed breaking the fourth wall which was complete crap. This is where the actors break out of their role and talk directly to the audience while in character. Always hated this, and while some things it's artsy I simply found its use here as an attempt to make a horrible show somewhat better. Well, it did not work. This series is just garbage, or as the Brits would say Rubbish. But I think a more appropriate British description for this show is "Absolute Shite!"
