The Great (2020–2023)
2/10
This is awful
12 April 2024
I wanted to watch this show for such a long time because I think Elle Fanning and Nicholas Hoult are gorgeous and excellent actors.

I give every series one episode to reel me in. This one got exactly one. It was terrible.

It depicts Russian royalty as being brutish, foul mouthed, uneducated, animal abusers. I'm not Russian, I'm American. I'm not entertained by this. Russia is a super power and has given the world some of the most brilliant thinkers. Some of the greatest rulers came out of Russia. It someone knew nothing about Russia and watched this, they would get s horrible impression of these great people.

This show tries to make cruelty funny. The emperor is cruel to those around him, and to The Empress, his wife. He punches her in the stomach after he shoots her bear, a gift to her on their wedding night, and after she cried to him about how much she's hurting, due to his cruel behavior.

The amount of foul language is ridiculous. I believe it's proven that if one's vocabulary is made of mainly swear words it shows low IQ.

Everyone is drinking or drunk and throwing glasses on the ground.

It's like a huge fraternity with horny jocks, but in costumes. They act crude and abuse the women.

That's literally the best way to describe this hot, streaming dumpster pile.
