Catherine the Great: Season 1 – UK Region

DVD Wholesale Quick Overview:

The four-part limited series focuses on the later years of the reign of Russian empress Catherine the Great (Helen Mirren) and her relationship with Russian military leader Grigory Potemkin (Jason Clarke).

It helps to have Clarke, Roxburgh and Kinnear, three of the best going, around her, broad-shouldered men in this women’s world. If the dialogue is occasionally over-expository, that’s understandable, and on the whole the starry team makes cantering over all this historical turf look surprisingly intimate. Catherine’s not quite great, yet, but she’s very good.

Mirren is the reason to watch, and reason enough. It’s no knock against the rest of the cast or the production designer or costumers or digital matte painters, who have all acquitted themselves bravely, even brilliantly, to say that there is no other particularly compelling reason to spend four hours in this slice of 18th century history.
