Huzzah! Didn't know a thing about this show and thought it was going to be a Grade B - ' The Crown ' effort. I was so wrong.
Hmm..not a whole lotta interest in this show here. Maybe if I mentioned it had a lot of sex in it it would get a rise . So to speak.
It does take a third of the season to get firing on all cylinders. Once it does though it's really great. The wife and I exclaimed huzzah many times having drinks this weekend.
Huzzah! A must watch in my house. My wife says it's refreshing to have an historical drama which admits to not telling the truth, but out to entertain.
I have told everyone within earshot about how good this show is. Clever writing, funny and subversive. I have since found out the humor here is not to everyone’s taste, but it’s my favorite series of the past couple of years. Huzzah!
Agree about the writing , razor sharp and rapid. Witty too. Watching the last episode tonight and may very well start over. Huzzah , indeed!
And no discussion of Season 2??? I think it even outdid Season 1! Just finished both seasons on Hulu in the past few weeks and they were incredible. The two leads are just so phenomenal the rest of the cast has trouble keeping up! I can't count the times I sat there with my mouth hanging open. My ONLY qualm is a few animal-related incidents of violence - animal lover that I am, had to look the other way a couple of times! Maybe the best writing on TV these days. I understand there's a Season 3 in the works!
both seasons are really, really good. just finished 2 with my wife. nick hoult is amazing, amazing, amazing & the twisted-sick love story is like Buffy/Angel -- you really should be killing your mortal enemy, but you just can't bring yourself to & you keep falling back in their arms.
My wife and I still have two episodes of season 2 to go, and we're not in any hurry to watch them, as that will mean the end of all of the are available.
Just finished season one--- yeah, its quite something! I wish it wasn't quite so bloody, and violent, which is a weird mix along with the comedy, but somehow, it seems to work on an interesting level that doesn't feel like its been done to death. One interesting thing about watching it in early 2022 (and beyond a few minutes of the first episode of season 2 I haven't yet seen the rest of season 2) but its got so many echoes to, let's just say, possibly, the attitude of the current leader of Russia, and also perhaps the not-current-but-one-before president of the us, who shall remain nameless, but whose narcissism and arbitrary nature might just be a target of the satire as well, maybe?
Just finished season 1 of this show. Lots of lols, political intrigue, sax, and violins. Plenty of a-cursin' and a-cussin' that may offend delicate ears, but overall ... huzzah! --Geoff
Here you go, but lots of plot spoilers in the 2nd half of the article if you haven't watched the first two seasons yet!
Ugh, sorry. Been a long day! The Great Season 3 Release Date Officially Coming Sooner Than You Expected.
