I hate all this upper class twittery.

The Crown because it's more relatable.

The Crown.

Tough choice, but I have to go with Downton Abbey.

I have seen all episodes of both series and: The Crown is better by a significant margin for me.
I liked Downton. It was a fun ride. But it was a confection.
The Crown is the real deal.

Downton Abbey was, as they said, "Dynasty on Crack". I agree, it was great but only until the end of Season 3. Then, Fellowes started writing just anecdotes. The writing on The Crown is well arranged to make us see a fairy tale, with connections between events and attitudes that seem random, but they're not.
Now, The Crown is beautifully shot, the writing is good, the art direction superb and the acting is great BUT it is NOT fiction, and we kinda know what will happen with the characters just by going to Wikipedia. I'd say, after watching the whole Season 1, that the series has potential to become the next Downton Abbey if they keep with the good writing.

I'd say The Crown.
While Downton Abbey mostly centers about class, The Crown tells more about power. I like both shows's costume and set designs, but in terms of writing, The Crown is all the way above.

Again, not putting it down, but Downton Abbey was a soap opera for a long time. In many ways.
It's not competition, but I like The Crown better n part because it's real history. That I didn't know much about.
I think it's useful to say to friends, try the Crown, it's a bit better than Downton Abbey if you want them to see it.

Definitely The Crown. Downton Abbey became a soap opera.

I'd say draw as well. I love the rich history of this show, but I like the funny bits of humor that Downton Abby throws in.
YOUR VOTE MATTERS! Please vote in every election. Thank you.

A draw? I didn't know it was a competition.

I have to call it a draw. I REALLY like both shows.
Actors are useless without the power of a good writer's imagination

What's better? Canned pineapple or Ferrari 581 italia?

My favorite episode is 9. I think you'll know why
It's alot better than Downton Abby too.
