The Great
An occasionally true story.
Created by Tony McNamara
On Hulu
A wildly irreverent, high-energy costume comedy that treats 18th-century Russian history as a playground for slapstick, sexual politics, and character-driven chaos.
A genre-bending, anti-historical ride through 18th century Russia following the rise of Catherine the Nothing to Catherine the Great and her explosive relationship with husband Peter, the emperor of Russia.
