THE CROWN SEASON 1

The Crown is a Netflix series about the reign of Queen Elizabeth II that was written by Peter Morgan and produced by Left Bank Pictures and Sony Pictures Television. The series was starring by Claire Foy as Queen Elizabeth, Vanessa Kirby as Margaret, Matt Smith as Prince Philips, Jared Harris as King George IV and many more. In The Crown season 1, the storyline is about Elizabeth begins her marriage journey with his husband, Prince Philips. On the weeding day, Elizabeth are hesitated to marry Prince Philips but she is still continuing with her marriage and live happily. They even have 2 children after a year of their marriage. The conflict began when King George IV died because of lung cancer stage 3. He cannot be cured anymore even after operated once before.  As the eldest child, Elizabeth has to take the responsibility to be a queen for British royal family. However, this season are a bit boring because it is about historical drama and they try show to the viewer about how the royal do their duty to protect the nation.

In this series, there are some types of television critics that I can found. Firstly, the subject matter. As I stated at the above, this series was about historical drama that based on the real story of Queen Elizabeth II. As we clearly can see, their cinematography plays the major roles to show that the series are about historical and telling about an old story. Other than that, the dress up by each of the character in the drama try to show the royal old fashion from 90’s era.

Next, the comic relief. For me, the comic relief in this drama is the Prime Minister, Winston Churchill. The comic reliver can break the tense of the drama when the audience are busy being emotional about the King George pass away news. But then, there is a scene which can release my tense when Winston ask his secretary to read the document that been delivered to him. The secretary obeys to his order and start to read the document, but Winston pretend that he can not hear the secretary’s voice. The secretary moves more closer to door so that Winston can hear her voice. Unfortunately, Winston push himself in the bathtub and the water splash all over the toilet and hit on the secretary. The secretary shocked by the water comes from the door, however she is still doing her task by reading the document to the Winston.

Others, the realism. The realism can be seen when the writer creates a scene about King George IV having an operation in the castle. The royal even have their own medic team to conduct the operation and treat him after the operation done. Other than that, they even show how the royal are in the real life. The director perfectly shows to the viewer how rich, discipline, ethics and many more that royal family have. As an example, when Elizabeth wanted to fly back to her country after knowing about her father’s bad news. She supposed to wear a black dress to show that she is in the mourning. But then, their maid forgets to bring along the black dress. So, she has to change her dress once she arrives at the England.

In conclusion, The Crown can be said to be successful as it has already garnered a lot of attention by having millions of viewers in each season it airs. This Netflix series also can provide a good input for viewers. At the same time, it can enhance the audience's understanding of how the royal work in real life.

Being Human VS The Order

GENRE ANALYSIS BETWEEN BEING HUMAN VS THE ORDER  Genre Analysis is a process of looking at several samples of a particular genre to analyse their similarities and differences in terms of their purposes, macrostructure and language choice. Drama series that I have choose to analyse are The Order (2019) and Being Human UK (2008). Both of them were aired from different platform which is The Order can only been watch on Netflix while Being Human was aired on television. Even though they are many gaps these two-drama series, but still these series have their own creativity and their own storyline. Without further ado, the genre analysis can be done by three approaches which are aesthetic, ritual and ideological.             Firstly, the aesthetic approaches. Aesthetic can be known as a hybridization or a combination of many types of genre. In the series of Being Human (UK version), Toby Whithouse as a Director f...
