What BollyAI Thinks

Season 2 extended the Foy era through the Suez Crisis, Philip's restlessness, and the slow negotiation of what their marriage actually was. Matt Smith's Philip was given more space here, and he used it to make the Duke complicated in ways the received wisdom about him doesn't allow. Critics at 89% called it the equal of Season 1. The writing's strategy of using historical events as pressure tests for the royal marriage - each crisis revealing something new about the trapped people inside the palace - was at its most precise here.
