The Empress (2022– )
9/10
Fictional, but Good
2 October 2022
It is not based on reality. If you can put that to the side, it is really, really good. Good acting, good plot, and interesting characters. Sisi had good chemistry with Franz, but it was almost as if her chemistry was even better with his brother Max, but maybe it was just because he was a bad boy and we all want to see the bad boy truly have a good heart. You can figure that out for yourself if you watch, I won't spoil it for you. For those of you that really dislike woke stuff being shoved at you during a show, you will be relieved to know that this is pretty safe from that nonsense. However, on the last episode, in the last 10 minutes of the show, it showed his little brother putting on a dress, which had nothing to do with the plot, so being non-woke may not last. I know that people did that back then also, so as long as they don't make it a plot point to use to push a narrative next season, then I will continue to watch. Yes, that stuff happens, but if it has nothing to do with the story line, then why show it unless you have other motives? I dunno, I just hope they don't use it for preaching opportunities. I just want to enjoy the series without all that.

Anyway, it was pretty good and I hope it gets another season and it's done well.
