Catherine the Great (2019)
The episodes are few, and so it directly invites you to watch them all in quick succession. But this might be a mistake, as Catherine the Great will then quite possibly lack the pacing with which it has been split up. Indeed, each episode is pretty much about the same thing, all leading up to the final thought, and as a four-hour film it will probably drag. However, the series is very good, the excellent cast (the downright incredible Helen Mirren was a sure thing for me, and Jason Clarke once again surprised, delighted, and entertained me beyond belief) and the stylish production design. The accusations of historical inaccuracies regarding the ages of the representatives of Catherine and Potemkin are, fortunately, beyond me.
