While it might not be the most historically accurate series about Russia's Catherine the Great, The Great is an entertaining period romp nonetheless. Starring Elle Fanning as the titular character, The Great centers around Catherine as she attempts to stage a coup against her husband, Emperor Peter III (Nicholas Hoult). The show's two seasons showcase disaster, hilarity, and a healthy dose of romance, while lightly touching on the historical events that led to Catherine's reign.

The Great is available for streaming on Hulu.
