    • Trivia
      The character of Orlo appears to be loosely based on the similarly named real-life figure Grigory Orlov, who led the coup that overthrew Peter.
    • Goofs
      During the show there are songs performed in Russian language that have nothing to do with the historic period depicted in the show. An example of it is a children's choir singing a patriotic song about the Red Army during the dinner with the ambassador of Sweden. The Red Army did not exist until 1918, a year after the Russian Revolution. Another song featured in the show was about the fight of Soviet people against the Naazi Germany during the Great Patriotic War (1941-1945) and has been widely popular in the war-torn former USSR.

    It's a comedy, you effing nitwits!
    It's obviously a comedy! How can anyone give this series a bad rating based on it not being historically accurate is beyond me. People should be required to do an IQ test before their opinions are counted, and this should be required for voting in elections as well.

    This series has great witty comedy, plus all the sadism, lust, hypocrisy and backstabbing of real european courts, distilled in small episodes. It doesn't overstay it's welcome. Has great acting and production value. I'd watch 10 times more tv, if this was the norm.
