Reply to comment by regretfullyjafar in TVLine Performers of the Week: Elizabeth Debicki and Dominic West in 'The Crown' by MarvelsGrantMan136

Agree to disagree. Colman looked nothing like the queen.

Colman is a great actress and I tend to love her in most things, but her casting as Elizabeth II really took me out of those seasons of the Crown. She was a really bad fit. Staunton is much better.

I think she's a good actress as well, but at least in the Crown she just seemed to be playing a version of herself instead of the Queen. I somewhat prefer Staunton, even though she doesn't really look like the Queen either, but she's at least more immersed in the role.
