With season three of The Crown premiering on Netflix this November, fans of the royals can’t wait to see what the writers decide to showcase with Queen Elizabeth II (and her family) a few years older. With the new season a few weeks away, many are binging the first two seasons of The Crown to be reminded of what they miss.

The series follows Queen Elizabeth II’s rise as the Queen of the United Kingdom. We see her change from a giddy new wife and mother to two children to the Queen after her father unexpectedly falls ill and passes away. We see the ups and downs she faces in her marriage, her rollercoaster of a ride relationship with her sister, and her inner debate between being a wife, mother, friend, and the Queen of her nation’s people.

The Crown has been a standout on Netflix with some beautiful performances from its cast. To further the world’s obsession with this Netflix original, we’re taking a look at the best-ranked episodes, according to IMDb.

10 BERYL (SEASON TWO, EPISODE FOUR): 8.7

In the fourth episode in the second season, we see Queen Elizabeth II and Prince Philip planning a celebration for their 10th wedding anniversary. This couple has had their share of ups and downs and having a wedding to celebrate their love and devotion was exactly what this couple needed.

Unfortunately, this was the episode where Princess Margaret was supposed to announce her (random) engagement, but after her fiance got into a bit of trouble before the party, Princess Margaret decided to call it off and sit at the party in her own misery.

9 GLORIANA (SEASON ONE, EPISODE 10): 8.7

Gloriana is another high ranking episode for The Crown. After two years of being apart, Princess Margaret and Peter Townsend are finally reunited. The ban of their relationship has been lifted and they were (supposedly) allowed to get engaged. While Queen Elizabeth II gave Margaret her word that she had her blessing on their marriage, the law felt a different way. If the Queen were to give her blessing to Margaret, she would lose everything attached to her title as a princess because she’d be marrying a divorcee. We see Queen Elizabeth II at war with herself. Should she go against her country and the church and praise their marriage or should she forbid it?

8 ACT OF GOD (SEASON ONE, EPISODE FOUR): 8.8

Act of God was a hard episode for many to watch. Following the real events of a harsh fog that crumbles London, hundreds of people got sick from the pollution and many died from related illnesses or accidents pertaining to people’s bad sight.

We learn about Prime Minister, Winston Churchill’s, voice in the matter and how they kept the Queen in the dark. It was in this episode we also see one of Winston Churchill’s many workers die from the fog as well.

7 PATERFAMILIAS (SEASON TWO, EPISODE NINE): 8.8

“Paterfamilias” was the ninth episode of the second season was an episode that tugged on the heartstrings of many. We don’t see Prince Charles and Princess Anne much in the first two seasons but we finally get a glance of a young Prince Charles as he’s ready for boarding school; the very same boarding school his father went to. By this point the series, we’re well aware that Prince Philip had a tough childhood filled with family drama, sickness, and deceit. It’s actually remarkable that he turned out so well. In this episode, we see Prince Philip take out his emotions and frustrations on his own son after some bad memories come tumbling back to him after stepping back in time.

6 SCIENTIA POTENTIA EST (SEASON ONE, EPISODE SEVEN): 8.9

We learn early on in the first season that Winston Churchill was an old man who was suffering some extreme health complications. Knowing how much the country needed their prime minister, he stuck around and did the best he could (even though Queen Elizabeth II knew how poor his health was).

With Winston down, Elizabeth begins to take a look at her own upbringing and education. She was finding it hard to keep up with all the bright people before her, so she signs up for a personal tutor.

5 MARIONETTES (SEASON TWO, EPISODE FIVE): 9.1

The palace really took a turn in their playbook after the Queen’s speechwriters wrote a very dated and off-color speech for an old car factory and its workers. A journalist decided to write a piece bashing the Monarchy for being so closed off and proposed some changes for them to become more likable. The Queen ended up secretly meeting with said journalist and took some of his suggestions to heart to become more liked. She even invited some of the commoners to Kensington Palace to meet them to seem more “normal.”

4 HYDE PARK CORNER (SEASON ONE, EPISODE TWO): 9.1

After King Geroge VI is too sick to travel, he asks his daughter Elizabeth to do the tour with her husband, Philip, on his behalf. After convincing Philip to tag along, it ended up being a splendid Commonwealth tour and a chance to connect as a couple.

However, by the end of the episode, we learn that King Geoge VI died in his sleep, making Elizabeth the UK’s new Queen.

3 DEAR MRS. KENNEDY (SEASON TWO, EPISODE EIGHT): 9.2

We finally get a glimpse of Mr. and Mrs. Kennedy in The Crown. In this episode, Queen Elizabeth II is inspired by the First Lady and how she handled herself in tense situations. Especially after tensions with Ghana rise. In this episode, we see the Queen relate to Jackie O. in a way that she never has before. Both lonely and hiding behind a facade, no one knows if this conversation between the Queen and First Lady really did happen but it was a high-rated episode besides the fact.

2 ASSASSINS (SEASON ONE, EPISODE NINE): 9.2

By the end of the first season, we learn about the Queen’s close relationship with Porchey, a racing manager for horses. The two practically grew up together and while he’s always loved her, she only had eyes for Philip.

Although Porchey is engaged to be married, Elizabeth is drawn to spending time with him, especially with her strained marriage to Philip. Philip becomes jealous of their relationship and tensions rise. In this episode, we also see Winston Churchill come to terms with his age after seeing the negative portrait painted for him for his 80th birthday.

1 VERGANGENHEIT (SEASON TWO, EPISODE SIX): 9.2

The episode “Vergangenheit” showed us the behind-the-scenes secrets Queen Elizabeth’s uncle, the Duke of Windsor’s, life. The entire country hated him after abdicating from the throne but Elizabeth always had a soft spot for him. Once she was Queen, she began learning about her uncle’s hidden ties to the Nazi party and how he threw his country under the bus just to spend his remaining years with a woman who’s been divorced three times. The Duke of Windsor comes back into Elizabeth’s life after asking for a job. Although it was tough for her to turn him down, the Queen held her ground and told him of all the ways he let down their sacred country. This episode showed us a new side to the Queen.
