The latest series of The Crown has received its fair share of criticism, but the critics' opinions appear to be attracting new viewers.
Some of those viewers are watching from the start, and some are celebrities.
Among those new a-list viewers is American rapper Cardi B. Yesterday (Wednesday) she tweeted to her 26.2 million followers, telling them she'd like to "eat biscuits" with Princess Margaret.
I like Princess Margaret …I can see me smokin cigarettes and eating biscuits wit her

No doubt fueled by the headlines surrounding the new season of The Crown, Cardi B wrote on Twitter: “Y’all wanna talk about The Crown?”.
Responding to a fan who asked for her “thoughts on Camilla and Charles”, the rapper revealed she is not quite up to speed yet, having only watched 13 episodes so far.
The latest season of The Crown covers arguably the most controversial period in the Royal Family’s history, the 1990s. It features the break-up and affairs of Charles and Diana, among other storylines.
Series five of The Crown launched on 9 November on Netflix. It stars Imelda Staunton as the Queen, Dominic West as Charles, Elizabeth Debicki as Diana, and Lesley Manville as Princess Margaret.
