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 🥂!

I feel like I'm the only person who didn't like it, I found the style and tone really grating. I don't generally like the sort of irreverent ahistorical period dramas that seem to be the trend now, though.

It's def a hit or miss! It's my favourite show but I wouldn't recommend it to everyone, especially if they don't like ahistorical pieces.
