The Crown Dear Mrs. Kennedy (2016– ) watch online HD

"Dear Mrs. Kennedy" was an excellent episode, with the glaring exception of not just Michael C. Hall, but ALL THREE of the actors portraying Kennedys. None of them looked, acted, or sounded like the great historical persons they were attempting to portray. I was frankly shocked, since up until this episode, "The Crown" has been practically faultless in every way. I can only ask, What were the producers thinking?

That was the lousiest portrayal of John F. Kennedy that I have ever seen. The director and actor obviously had no idea what the man was like---at least his public persona. All they had to do was watch some old videos to get it right.

I must chime in in support of those viewers who hated Michael C. Hall's portrayal of John Kennedy. It wasn't badly acted, but the actor was just horribly miscast. Surely if they couldn't get someone who looked like Kennedy, they could at least have managed to get the Boston accent, very distinctive voice, and hairstyle right. Jackie didn't feel real to me. Part of the problem was also the hairstyle. Actually, tis is true of Elizabeth and Margaret as well, in the entire series. There are wisps of hair sticking out everywhere. I'm not sure why the stylists would do this. A look at contemporary photos would indicate that was not the case at all. One would think that hair would be one of the easiest things to get right in a period piece. It may have been done for effect, but those of us old enough to remember the actual people and events are not impressed.

Of all the actors out there the pick of Michael C Hall as Kennedy was a horrible choice. It's Dexter with a bad Boston accent. The series has been amazingly cast up until casting Dexter to a role he is unfit to play.

Come on it's Michael C Hall a graduate of the Matt Damon school of acting.

I enjoyed the episode as a whole especially the Queen's visit to Ghana and her take charge attitude in bucking tradition and dancing with President Nkrumah. I even enjoyed the meeting with the Kennedys except for two things:

1. The actors who portrayed JFK and Jackie were awful. Michael C. Hall being the absolute worst. Jodi Balfour was just okay. Neither of them looked a bit like the Kennedys which was a disappointment since The Crown has taken care to find actors who really look like the people they are portraying.

2. Everything I've ever read or watched concerning Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis is contrary to the Crown portraying her acting silly at a party and bad mouthing the Queen. I am guessing that this is quite an embellishment by The Crown writers.

Other than that, the episode, like all the others was well done and very entertaining.

This episode portrays the (brief) relationship between Elizabeth and the Kennedys. I've been waiting all season for this episode, because I've been very much looking forward to seeing Michael C. Hall's portrayal of JFK. As it turns out, his role amounts to little more than a cameo, with the real focus being on his wife Jackie, and her tumultuous relationship with Elizabeth. As two of the most famous, powerful, and influential women of the twentieth century, it's interesting to see what their interactions may have been like.

It's clear that some time has passed between the end of the last episode and the beginning of this one, and one major theme that we begin to explore is Elizabeth feeling old. It's no surprise then that she feels threatened by Jackie; the bright, young, and beloved socialite. As the Queen questions her own strengths, the episode's b-plot (socialist leanings in Ghana) comes to a head, and she is forced to deal with a precarious diplomatic situation. Ultimately, her sense of competition with Jackie leads her to an unorthodox but extremely effective solution in the best scene of the episode.

I enjoyed the portrayal of the Kennedys in this episode, but I thought their story-line seemed a little truncated. I feel like it might have been a little more effective had they let it play out over the course of a couple episodes. Jodi Balfour is fantastic as Jackie Kennedy, managing to make her sympathetic despite her main role as a foil for Elizabeth. Michael C. Hall did a good job portraying the darker side of JFK that many adaptions shy away from.

In short, this was a thrilling meet-up of two great minds that was a little hampered by the short amount of time it had to flourish, but nonetheless ranks among the more interesting depictions of the Kennedy family.

Elizabeth is beginning to feel intimidated by the reports of Jackie Kennedy. She has been charming the crowned heads of Europe. Meanwhile, the African countries are beginning to align themselves with the Soviets. Elizabeth decides to upstage the American monarch by visiting Ghana. It is a success. There are some tense scenes between the two women. Obviously, Jackie had the upper hand over Elizabeth's less classic beauty. The Kennedys come off as pompous at times, which I found refreshing. Jackie appears to be two-faced as she disses the English tradition. It is well played as both women stand their ground. However, history tells us that Kennedy was no saint and circumstances that were hidden from the public affected his and her world. And, of course, we know the rest of the story.

Has no one else noted that as President Kennedy was killed in late November 1963, the Queen would have been expecting Prince Edward who was born on10th March 1964? There was no reference to the pregnancy and in the clothes she was wearing no signs of it either!!

Mrs. Kennedy sounds like she had a speech impediment.

The finest episode of Season 2 to this point and maybe the finest of the series. Everyone is obsessed with the Kennedys and when you focus on them you are guaranteed to have an entertaining episode. We also saw the widest range of emotions from Elizabeth we have seen to date: cunning, jealous, happy, disappointed and so many others all in one hour of TV.

And we saw how special the relationship is with her husband when JFK was assassinated. A deep and well-written episode of The Crown.

The Queen felt tired but still had to entertain the Kennedys. I had no idea that the Kennedys had substance abuse. I didnt like Michael C. Hall acting though. He is usually really good but I think they have miscast him. When he spoke, I could not stop laughing... it was not the right part for him. Mrs. Kennedy was good. She wasnt that pretty but her fashion sense was great. The Queen needs to learn from her about that if images are important for the Monarchy.
