You know how Netflix is spending a kajillion dollars on a 10-episode drama about Queen Elizabeth's life, called *The Crown?* (That's hyperbole, of course. [It's only $156 million.](https://www.elle.com/culture/movies-tv/news/a33061/first-look-at-netflix-series-the-crown/?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io)) They released a sizzle reel for it today, and I suspect you might want to watch it:

Tiaras! Crowns! Incredible locations! Angst? It sure *looks* expensive, and I already dislike Claire Foy FAR less than I did [when she was Anne Boelyn in Wolf Hall.](https://www.gofugyourself.com/tag/wolf-hall?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io) That said, surely there will be much to discuss about this, including and perhaps especially: Is Matt Smith hot enough to play a young Prince Philip? ([Young Prince Philip was EXTREMELY hot,](https://www.buzzfeed.com/emilyekmurdoch/29-photos-of-a-young-prince-philip-t6v8?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io#.pqPPmrNMK) which is one of the reasons QE2 married him, I am quite sure.) These are the burning questions of our times.

I was originally just going to make this a post about *The Crown*, but then I just saw the trailer for Netflix's other show, *The Get Down*, Baz Luhrmann's 70s musical drama set in the Bronx, [which Vulture says](https://www.vulture.com/2016/01/first-trailer-for-baz-luhrmanns-the-get-down.html?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io) "follows a group of New York City youngsters...in the 1970s on the cusp of discovering hip-hop through the guidance of Grandmaster Flash." (The trailer has some NSFW language, just FYI.) And it also looks awesome. BEHOLD!

Ten points to Netflix today. I am IN.
