This is bawdy, anarchic fun, still as smart as it is wilfully anachronistic. Huzzah! Read full review

What ultimately makes The Great's latest season so, well... great is how it manages to feel like the natural next evolution for the series as a whole, with shake-ups that are bold and potentially thrilling for what lies ahead. Read full review

Despite its flaws, The Great Season 3 is darker and emotionally richer than much of what has come before. It’s still loud and bombastic, full of ridiculous Russian traditions and sly anachronistic jokes. But it’s also sadder and more complicated, with a keener understanding of its own sharp edges.

While the show is still primarily a triumphant and intense joyride, the 10 hourlong episodes do run the risk of being repetitive. Some storylines spin in exasperating circles. ... Fanning’s daring performance in the season finale is a stellar goodbye encapsulating why McNamara’s series works. It’s unhinged, potent, and charismatic while being laugh-out-loud funny.

The third instalment in the saga of The Great is history at its most horrible – and most enjoyable. As Peter himself might say after a large plate of pheasant in grape sauce: huzzah! Read full review

Fanning and Hoult are as winning as ever, and the series wastes no time diving back into its playful retelling of one of Russia’s most famous monarch couples. Read full review

It’s heartening to see a streaming show double down on elements that work while remaining open to experimenting with genre and tone. Read full review

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Halfway through this third season and I'm surprised at how clever and hilarious the writing continues to be. Based on the trailer, I thought this show would have jumped the shark by now, but it turns out it was just a poor representation of the season. Elizabeth is a hysterical character, and the relationship between the two mains is much more complex now that it's not just all-out war between them and they actually love each other. The actors portray a believable chemistry which is absolutely still volatile, which adds to the humor. I'll be interested to see where the rest of the season goes and will update this review if it doesn't turn out to be as great as the first two.… Expand
