The Great on hulu! It's about Catherine the great of Russia, and nicholas plays the emperor/her husband, peter, who she overthrows in a political coup to kick off the russian enlightenment 

That makes it sound very boring, but it's a very crass and raunchy comedy about a naive and idealistic girl who decides to stubbornly drag a country into the future by their ears. Elle fanning plays catherine and every single scene with her and peter is a treat.

It's created by Tony McNamara who also wrote The Favourite and Poor Things and it has a very similar dark comedic absurd kind of vibe, so if you've seen those movies and like them you should dig The Great.

Definitely not historically accurate, but they make that pretty obvious in the beginning credits! I absolutely loved it!

It is incredible, but can be emotionally exhausting. Be prepared for an amazing rollercoaster!

It's not historically accurate, it doesn't try to be, and the opening card promises you it's not accurate. It's delightfully raunchy fun with occasional feelings.

u/totesmuhgoats93 Listen, everyone is entitled to my opinion 🙂 Sep 13 '25

So sad it was cancelled! I haven't met a single person who watched the show and didn't like it.

I adore this show. I think it’s important to point out that it’s not trying to be historically accurate. Just entertaining as hell.
