Earlier this week it was revealed when the sixth and final series of The Crown will premiere on the streaming service.
Series 6's trailer dropped, and fans had a lot to say.
The episodes will explore key events from the '90s and early 2000s, such as Tony Blair's rise to power and Princess Diana's tragic passing.
It was reported earlier this year that the show's creators had made the controversial decision to display "distressing" reenactments of the Princess of Wales' August 1997 car tragedy in Paris.

A fourth complained: "Why do they have to make it so complicated!"
A fifth wrote: "Season 6 of The Crown feels weird to me, Diana is a ghost. Strange."
Fans weren't the only ones unimpressed by the trailer.
A royal expert said the concept of Princess Diana's ghost was "tacky".
Richard Fitzwilliams told : "Peter Morgan [the creator] is a skilled dramatist and knows how tacky the idea of Diana’s ghost is.
"He calls her somewhat unorthodox appearances as a ghost giving her 'special treatment narratively'."
