EXERCISE: It's transporting

"The Crown," the Netflix drama that follows the life of Queen Elizabeth II from her early years, has received huge amounts of praise for its wonderful acting, writing, costumes, and music and its stunning production values.
Yes, yes, all of that is true, contends a friend, but best of all the show is so engrossing that she forgets that she's in her basement, working out on her stationary bike, an exercise she despises.
Other series she nominated for "best way to get through an hour of pedaling" are "The Sopranos," "Six Feet Under," "Rome," and "Breaking Bad."
"Boardwalk Empire," not so much.
For the upcoming Season 3 of "The Crown," Olivia Colman and Tobias Menzies take over for Claire Foy and Matt Smith as the Queen and the Duke of Edinburgh, with Helena Bonham Carter replacing Vanessa Kirby as the Queen's sister, Princess Margaret.
