The way how they play and remastering the history is genius! As being Russian, I find this show absurdly brilliant and funny. That's interesting to follow how the show is portraying current narratives with well known facts from 18 century, as it all together creates absolutely masterpiece satire Universe!
Quirky humour, great acting, certainly not trying to be historically accurate! Possibly the humour isn't slapstick enough for the initial reviewers. It's definitely worth the watch.
The Great was so much better than I expected it to be. I went into it not expecting much but after a few episodes I couldn't stop watching it. I binged all three seasons as fast as I could. I promise you that you'll laugh out loud at least a few times every episode. While the entire cast is good in this is, Nicholas Hoult is the best part of this show. Every time he talks he made made me laugh. He also has the best character arc on the show. You go from not liking his character to rooting for him. Hoult is already a star from other stuff he's done but this takes him to another level. If you're looking for a new show to just have good time then this is it.
I've heard so many good things about The Great ever since it first came out a few years ago but I kept putting it off for some reason. I'm just finishing Season 2 now and I'm actually mad at myself for putting it off for so long. It's freaking hilarious! There's not a weak link on the entire cast but Nicholas Hoult and Belinda Bromilow are the ones that really make this series so good. Hoult & Elle Fanning were both nominated for Emmy's for their work here but Bromilow should've been too. It's obviously not historically accurate, it even says it in the beginning credits, but who cares? It's a comedy. If you want to laugh then go watch this.
I love the history of Catherine the Great, and this isn't it. However it is hilarious, smart, sarcastic, and almost resembling her story.
I wanted to hate it, but I loved it. I hope they keep it going.

- TriviaThe character of Orlo appears to be loosely based on the similarly named real-life figure Grigory Orlov, who led the coup that overthrew Peter.
- GoofsDuring the show there are songs performed in Russian language that have nothing to do with the historic period depicted in the show. An example of it is a children's choir singing a patriotic song about the Red Army during the dinner with the ambassador of Sweden. The Red Army did not exist until 1918, a year after the Russian Revolution. Another song featured in the show was about the fight of Soviet people against the Naazi Germany during the Great Patriotic War (1941-1945) and has been widely popular in the war-torn former USSR.
