When Catherine the Great came to the throne she was in her early thirties which is when the series begins. However in the series she is portrayed as being an older woman in her sixties. Helen Mirren is an very good actress but she should have been cast as the older Catherine later in the series.
It is historically inaccurate to show Catherine with the Orlovs and Potemkin at such an age. How will they explain that she had a child with Potemkin?
