"The Crown" definitely is a quieter, more introspective show than the big adventures of "Outlander," but both shows have a lot to say about power, changing times, and family. Starting in the 1950s, "The Crown" traces the reign of Queen Elizabeth II over several decades. From her early days as an unexpectedly young queen trying to find her footing to her later years as an established monarch and matriarch, the show follows her and her family as they struggle to feel relevant in an increasingly modern world, often self-sabotaging along the way. There aren't the epic, literal battles seen on "Outlander," but that doesn't mean the stakes are lower.
