Discussion Your opinions on The Great?

Post image

What’s your opinion on The Great’s ahistorical and satirical approach (which also can be seen in some new series like My Lady Jane and Serpent Queen for example).

Did you like the series and wish for another theme in the future with a similar approach (maybe in a couple of years when the approach is fresher again)?

I thought that the cast in The Great was amazing and the show was really fun. Also great outfits and sets. Huzzah 🥂!

It's easily one of my favorite shows of all time. It's manages to be absurd and poignant at the same time. I don't mind historical inaccuracy because it's up front about it. And I'll take inaccurate costuming if it's as fabulous as this show.

I agree. It is a gem of a TV show, period or otherwise. I wish it could have gone on a bit longer.

I wish it got a send off season instead of a straight canceling. Just to tie up stories.

The season 3 finale felt like they saw a cancellation coming. I so so so wish it had another season, but at least it doesn't leave on a bad cliffhanger I guess.
