POKES FUN WITH THE EMPRESS
And our suggestion for today on what to watch during the corona virus quarantine (which might easily last till the end of summer) is THE GREAT a new historical comedy series that will start on Hulu May 15th starring Elle
Elle Fanning takes the lead role in this offensive mockery
Fanning as Russian empress Catherine the Great and Nicholas Hoult as her husband Petter III of Russia. Hulu has released a new trailer which you
The Great hits Hulu from May 15th this year
can watch below and tell us what you think. Unlike most other series that depicted the longest reigning Russian monarch, this one will do it with a touch
Nicholas Hoult plays crazy Russian Emperor Peter III
 of comedy incorporating historical facts only occasionally. The mini series will describe the beginnings of their arranged marriage and how, in order to leave
Elle Fanning has been chosen to wear the Russian imperial crown
her mark in history, 'all' she had to do was kill her husband, beat the church, baffle the military, and get the court onside. The ten episode series also stars our dearest Gwilym Lee from Jamestown and Sebastian de Souza from Medici

  1. Is that all she had to do to leave her mark? Cake walk! LOL

    It does look rather funny. Will surely give us some much needed comedic relief.

    1. I'm on the fence with it. I generally don't find historical times like that funny, but I do love Hoult a lot. And Gwilym is my Ozzie lurv.

    1. Her marriage was probably the prime example of a truly horrid marital union LOL He once brought an ugly fat peasant girl, whom he made his public lover, to a ball and gave her one of Catherine's crowns to wear in front of everyone.
