The Crown – Netflix

We already figured that Queen Elizabeth II is a total badass, but we never quite realised the extent of her awesomeness until this glittering series came along. The 10-part drama follows a young Liz (Claire Foy) as she rises to the throne and comes to terms with her newfound responsibilities, the effect it has on her relationship with Prince Phillip (Matt Smith), and her role within the governance of the UK. From her absolute refusal to let anyone belittle her, to her wisdom beyond her years, there’s no denying that ours is a queen to be reckoned with. However, as each episode is a whopping 90 minutes long, you’ll definitely need to get to work ASAP if you want to squeeze them all in before you go back to work in 2017….
