WHAT IS THE STORY OF THE SERIES?
Paul was called a tyrant and even a madman, but his character and
history are much deeper than the mask that his descendants undeservedly
bestowed
on him. His mother’s alienation, rejection of the court and
endless attempts to figure out who and why really killed his father
formed a deeply tragic 
personality. Having become emperor after many
years of waiting, Paul sought to get rid of the permissiveness of the
nobility and improve the lives of serfs 
and ordinary soldiers. However,
will he be able to realize his plans and retain power? Check out the trailer below and tell us what you think.

Normally I am drawn to your Russian offerings, but this one just didn't do it for me today. The acting felt a little too over dramatic. It didn't look awful, but not something I care if our streamers pick up here or not.
ReplyDeleteIt is very weird that the same actress that played Elizaveta in Catherine series now plays Catherine the Great.
DeleteNot for me but hopefully others like it.
ReplyDeleteThey will.
DeleteOhh I hope they redeem him. I loved the character in Yekaterina.
ReplyDeleteI much prefer his son.
DeleteNatalya Surkova has already played Catherine the Great in the TV series “The Favorite” (2005) based on the novel by Valentin Pikul. So, it’s not surprising that she’s playing her again here.
ReplyDeleteMy bad, I mistook Surkova for Yuliya Aug because they do kinda look alike in those roles.
