"A royal woman living in rural Russia during the 18th century is forced to choose between her own personal happiness and the future of Russia, when she marries an Emperor." - IMDb
The summary really does nothing to describe this show. We follow the story of Catherine the Great in her early years and when she first arrives to Russia to marry Peter. She is young and naïve but she realizes that Peter is useless as an Emperor soooooo she should take the crown herself and lead this nation.
This had humor and had drama. And as they proclaim this is occasionally true and accurate. They don't try to hide that they had some fun with the story and characters sometimes. Which worked for the story.
Oooooooooo this was funny and sad all at the same time.
I had a hard time hating Peter all the time. He's just a dumb, spoiled dude. The actor is adorable too so it makes it hard fully hating him all the time. But then there were times I wanted to stab him myself and be done with it. Loved the actor for this role.
Poor Catherine. I was a little worried about who they casted to play her, but it worked well and she did excellent.
I just loved the overall cast. It was fun.
BF even started watching with me when he realized how fun this was.
Yes, be prepared for some historical inaccuracies, but it was overall enjoyable and I want to rewatch it. I hope they do a season 2 soon. This ended a little open-ended. If you don't know the real history you wouldn't know. And I was a sobbing mess!!! SOBS! SEASON 2 PLEASE!!!
5 stars of course ;)

Oh it looks fun!
Wasn't she German? That blurb is weird
Melliane, it was!
B, yea - she was german but married the russian prince I believe.
When I know going in that a historical is asking me to laugh at the little idiosyncrasies, I can enjoy them. I haven't watch a Catherine the Great story since the A&E one.
Same here!
