TV changed for me forever when The Crown premiered. Not only did it further solidify Netflix as a permanent competitor in the television space, but it also is a foundational title when it comes to biopics. The series wrapped in 2024, and if there's a The Crown-shaped hole in your life these days, then I have the perfect show for you: BritBox and ITV's new series The Lady! It follows Jane Andrews, who was a dresser for Sarah Ferguson in Buckingham Palace...before she was convicted of murder.
