    Obviously, this is a comedy so let's hope people keep a sense of humour and don't start drearily demanding that the audience should be warned that there may be historical inaccuracies as they did with The Crown. It's light-hearted and funny and right now that's no bad thing.

    The Great would have worked well in tart half-hour bites but its hour-long episodes feel a bit much, packed as they are with intrigue, indulgence and sleaze. The tone switches in a second from gleeful farce to unpleasant.

    “The Great” is absolutely worth watching for Hoult alone, and for the scattered moments throughout each episode in which the writing or acting rises to his level.
