The series was created by Tony McNamara, the screenwriter of 2018 film The Favourite, which explored the court of Queen Anne with anachronisms, vulgarity, and a modern sensibility applied to historical court life. The influence is clearly shown in The Great, which is very different from other films and series set in this period.
I could tell by the trailers that it would be the same type of silly-assed crap as "The Favourite". Pass.
