Variety

'The Great' becomes a wickedly entertaining piece of historical fudging that lays bare the myopic nature of aristocracy, the root causes of revolt, and the danger inherent in thoughtless leaders surrounded by unquestioning yes-men.

Vulture

Huzzah! The best things about The Great are also the most contradictory and the most uncomfortable.

The New Yorker

The show may not be historically accurate, but it slices through history like a hot poker, to royalty’s rancid core.

The Hollywood Reporter

'The Great,' starring Elle Fanning and Nicholas Hoult, is an arch, hyper-verbose girl-power exercise celebrating Catherine the Great's rise to power.

First off, the good; Great writing, acting, sets... extremely entertaining. Fun even. Well above average.

IMDb

The Great is high quality television. The first few episodes are gold and then it descends into monotony and transparent attempts at cleverness.
