A royal woman living in rural Russia during the 18th century is forced to choose between her own personal happiness and the future of Russia, when she marries an Emperor.
A very funny, entertaining and addictive series. Elle Fanning gets to do proper acting for the first time and I quite like her. Nicholas Hoult is very good. Reminds me of his Skins days. Not another series comes to mind that is like this. At the moment a unique delight. I recommend to anyone looking for a new series to pass their time and wanting to have a few laughs.
