Well, the show is engaging, colourful and fun to watch. Great scenery, good acting, handsome people and beautiful costumes. A fantastic aid for people learning German.
Unfortunately it's about as historically accurate as watching the Soviet army shoot up Washington in WWII.
Why stick to one time period when you can depict them all? A lady with a bob haircut in Victorian times? An inner-city hobo successfully passing herself off as a country countess for months? Sure, why not? The writers didn't limit themselves to one royal court and revolution -- they conveniently combined them all into one series!
Perhaps the second series will introduce something about the real Sisi?
