yeah im just going to say it. the great (2020) is legit one of the best television shows I have seen in my life and I’m really glad I picked it back up. if you like ahistorical comedy-dramas in a period setting, complex characters/relationships, and don’t mind gore and sudden, graphic violence, I’d recommend it

#it can get extremely violent and disturbing esp in the beginning #but the characters are enchanting in their flaws and complexities #the relationships are dynamic and original #some of the plots are the most insane shit I have ever seen in a non-fantasy setting #I liked when the priest beats people up and gets high #the jokes can be dark but are usually very good and clever #the way it writes women and handles sex is just a breath of fresh air #the acting is incredible across the board #and the costumes are really fun #I did think it was weird that they had the sultan wear a necklace of human ears but peter as an emperor did worse things than that regularly #so its not like russian aristocracy was any better #it also makes it really easy to see why a revolution was neccesary #bc the nobles were so entrenched in their ways and in their positions of power. there was no argument that would have swayed most of them #the great lb
