A nice change to have some insight into the history of Hapsburg monarchy.
Hopefully the first of many productions in this genre as there is a whole wealth of interesting content to tap into for TV shows focused on The Austro Hungarian Empire and the German and Prussian empires of the 17th to 19th centuries.
A lavish, polished production with some of the finest up and coming German & Austrian actors.
Gorgeous costumes and cinematography.
The only criticism is the weakness of the sub plots which focus too much on the trivial chic- flick type of trite romantic fluff and not enough on the political machinations within court and the wider societal changes.
Revolutionary fever is growing but this part of the story is not entirely convincing and is not given enough prominence.
Its not quite at the standard of "Versailles" or "The Crown" but its definitely an improvement on the asinine "Bridgerton".
