Common Sense 4 Emmy To Crown British Screenwriter

The Brit screenwriter Peter Morgan should be thanked for his Emmy winning “The Crown,” which explores the evolution & relevancy of the monarchy. Contrast that thought-provoking series to Hollywood’s mind-bogglingly stupid “Lucifer” that suggests the "misunderstood" devil is more ethical than his brother, Archangel Michael.

Then, again, there’s the BBC’s equally-compelling “Poldark” which delves into the class struggles coming out of the American & French Revolutions. Contrast that to the many sophomoric soaps now popular on the telly today. Masterpiece Theatre the Made in America brand they are not.

As George Bernard Shaw once said, the British & American nations are divided by a common language, while Thomas Paine thought common sense was lacking in the DNA, too.
