I clicked on this out of curiosity and ended up immersed and watching the whole first season! Set against the wonderful back drop of St Petersburg, and 18th Century Russia, the characters are excellently portrayed and I soon forgot I was reading subtitles. A great introduction to Catherine the Great, Elizaveta and the Romanovs. It gave me a thirst to know more and after setting off on a google trail, I found little to contradict it. Peter 111 was a more complex character, and tried reform, but it would be difficult to portray more in the time allotted in the part.
