Everyone says 'The Crown' fell off after season 4, but I think season 5 was the best one.

I binged the whole series over a month, and the shift after season 4 was obvious. The first four seasons felt like a soap opera about the Queen's early life. Then season 5 actually got into the messy politics of the 90s, like the 'annus horribilis' speech and the Windsor Castle fire. It felt less like gossip and more like a real historical drama. Did anyone else find the later seasons more engaging?

The 'annus horribilis' speech was actually in 1992, which season 3 covered. Season 5 jumped ahead to the late 90s with the Diana crash.

So why skip the mid-90s stuff then?
