It's because Thatcher is such a great character. It's like a mission impossible movie and suddenly James Bond comes in

I specially found interesting the episode where the Tatchers were invited for a weekend with the Royal Family at Balmoral Castle. It's so funny because despite them feeling awkward and out of place, it shows how ironically the Thatchers were more "Elegant and sophisticated" than the Royal Family itself. This is because they were a rich family from London, who was used to the life and style of a big city. In the other hand, the Royal Family, regardless of how rich and full of etiquette they were, still being country people. People born and raised in the countryside, where their hobbies, lifestyle and interactions were way different from those of people from the city. It was not so much related with highly educated politicians from London, but reminded more to the super old and ancient lifestyle of the former kings and royals from the Medieval Times, who lived in big castles in the fields and used to go ride horses, hunt, interact with animals and have long walks in the forest. A huge an interesting contrast.

That’s why we don’t see anything between Maggie and Reagan, but we do between Princess Margaret and LBJ. Also, I think this series treats political leaders with kid gloves, they could have been MUCH harsher on Thatcher, or Wilson, or even Churchill.

That final scene between them is truly magnificent. The gamut of emotions in Anderson's understated surprise is beyond.

I just loved how Thatcher dishes it to the Queen. Wonderful performance by Gillian.

She won all major awards Emmy Golden Globe and Screen actor for this role!

Meryl Streep was much better.

I was an extra in the Highland Games scene, next to Gilian Anderson, and I found myself with a deeply conflicted state of two emotions. On the one hand, the geek in me was screaming "I'm in a scene with Dana Scullyyyyyyyy!!!" On the other, I had to resist the over powering urge to spit in Thatcher's face. That's how good her performance was.

Gillian Anderson has single-handedly been the star and best actor this year for all movies in all categories and within The Crown, her and John Lithgow(both acting as PMs) are the best performers.

Anderson made it look like Thatcher was about 85 , slow and tired and from the few interviews that I watched, Thatcher sounded more energetic than that even at an older age...but got to give credit to Anderson for risking to divise anyway when acting such a historical character.

Can't compare this actor's very stiff portrayal with brilliant Meryl Streep. Streep WAS Thatcher.

I particularly love the scene where Margaret’s in the queen go stalking together. I love how Margaret was dressed for business not knowing exactly what she was getting into, looking odd compared to the rest. It reminds me when I had to do an HVAC system inspection for work. I dressed up in a suit and tie and not knowing I was going to climb steps and ladders to get on a roof top for the inspection. I did feel a little silly, especially when the contractors were making fun of me for how I dressed. But when they realized my purpose for being there and saw that I could keep up with them when getting into the and mechanics technicals, the bullying stopped. Never judge a book by its cover folks.

Gillian Anderson is just brilliant in this role!
