I usually adore Olivia Coleman but I’m really missing Claire Foy As Elizabeth. Olivia’s face shows too much emotion to be Elizabeth. Anyone else?

Isn't Season 3 set in the 70s? Liz was only in her 50s. I think she could have abdicated in the 90s because Charles had proved himself before hand, but he really f*cked it all up with 'War of the Wales' with his own wife.

Ep 3 which was the Aberfan disaster took place in Oct 1966

I couldn't finish episode one because I was missing season one and two characters. This is going to be tough for me, and I didn't think that was possible. Am I the only one having trouble?

Same. She’s a hard adjustment. I think she will work though, just need to get reoriented.

I disagree. I am loving Olivia Coleman's portrayal. She is sufficiently inscrutable, especially when she has audience. She is often even downright cold, like with Charles. But, she does show that Elizabeth is not an automaton, and her impassive demeanor takes some effort, and a toll.

It's been a long time since season 2 was released, so while I was completely entertained by the first two seasons, I can't remember if they were as good as this.

Season 3 is really beautiful storytelling. Each episode is so well crafted, and the acting is extraordinary. Tobias Menzies in episode 7, wow.

Yes, the acting is amazing! They’re such compelling episodes, really. I’m thrilled with the new cast, which I didn’t expect.

I thought this season was fantastic and I hope they continue with season 4.

Season 3, for me, is way better than Season 2. It took me forever to watch that. I couldn’t turn away from Season 3 yesterday.

I love Olivia Coleman from Broadchurch so happy to see her in this. Helen Bonham Carter is a beautiful woman but I don't like her in the role, she is too lively
Found the 1st episode boring but looking forward to the rest based on what I read here

I love Olivia and Helena but they need blue contacts for these roles.
