Reviews (2)
An exceptional episode, the only one so far to show a person other than Elizabeth in the lead role. A tribute to Philip that gives him the opportunity to excel exactly as he needs to. A man who was in a very difficult situation and handled it with true aplomb. A man of many talents who dedicated his life to a "higher principle". From the perspective of the male ego, this could almost be a heroic feat. Deservedly, he is the one who takes this episode all to himself.

The second episode was better than the first, even though it mainly focused on the relationship of the royal couple, while the main political events were rather pushed to the background. On the other hand, it is possible that this part was better precisely because the creators chose a very good way to capture the relationship complications.
