Actor Judi Dench will probably press skip on the next season of Netflix's "The Crown." In an open letter she wrote to the British newspaper the Times, the Oscar winner dismissed the Emmy-winning series as "inaccurate and hurtful."
"The closer the drama comes to our present times, the more freely art seems willing to blur the lines between historical accuracy and crude sensationalism," Dench wrote in her letter published Thursday in the U.K. with the headline "The Crown is crude and cruel, says Dame Judi Dench."
Weeks before the hit show's fifth season debuts, the "Belfast" and "Shakespeare in Love" actor said she worries viewers, specifically those overseas, will see the streamer's "brilliant but fictionalized account" of the royal family as "wholly true."
