Note: This conversation discusses the entirety of season five and includes minor spoilers. Kathryn VanArendonk: Now in its fifth season, The Crown is full of compelling, often subtle themes about character and generational change. How much does oneâs temperament define oneâs destiny? How has celebrity changed our perception of leadership in the last several decades? For many public figures, vulnerability and personal disclosure is seen as weakness, but is rigid opacity actually even more damaging? Is tweed actually a timeless classic?

Photo: FX Networks / Hiro Murai As Atlanta comes to a close after four seasons, itâs still hard to characterize the series. Is it comedy, drama, horror, satire? Whatever the word, the critically acclaimed series is always weird, often brilliant, and sometimes divisive.
