Netflix has really done its due to not only being the streaming giant with a variety of delicacies but also by curating originals. In a crowded market, this strategy turned the tide and made it OTT Mogul. And The Crown, with its mix of cinematography, drama, and parallels to real-life drama, proved to be an absolute ace for Netflix. The show has gone on for six seasons and is celebrating its eighth anniversary with a magnitude of Emmys in its bucket, and even a greater sea of fan praises.

The series caused a riot when it was first released owing to the unreal acting performances, and its depiction of tricky incidents that involved the British royal family. While it was received fairly well upon release, it was when Season 4 of the show aired and featured the courtship between Princess Diana and Prince Charles at that time that the show met its zenith, forever cementing its place in the viewers' hearts.
