Ellery: I am not a royal person, but season 1 covered some interesting historical events, which is what sucked me in - the London smog event was a good episode and made it very clear how awful the whole thing was, esp for the most vulnerable residents.

It's worth googling the Great Smog of London to see how far we've come. Images like this from the 1950s. It was caused in part from burning coal

Burning coal is the most dirty, polluting, and inefficient way to get electricity. As early as 1306, Edward I banned Londoners from burning it, due to its noxious smog. So which countries are phasing it out the fastest now? Greece and the UK lead the way! Source: www.wri.org/insights/cou...

An estimated 12,000 people were killed

“The Crown” episode on this was very well done, I thought (That one and the mining disaster in Wales)

Ive never watched it
