The story of Empress Elizabeth of Austria and husband Emperor Franz Joseph, and their families, told in German.
If you don't mind subtitles then it's much better in its original German with English subtitles.. but dubbed in English is available and also good.
While seemingly true to historical timelines and events for these characters from history books, the series obviously takes liberties with the details and is a work of fiction, and definitely feels romanticized.. yet intensity between certain characters well known in history come through, it does at times fanciful considering it's depicting 19th century royal characters and surrounding families, court and villages.
It is quite lavishly presented in costume and production, with great acting. It's a good series. Romantic. I liked it.
