    Default Catherine the Great (HBO Limited Series)



    Looks like another potential knockout by HBO
    Things I trust more than American conservatives:

    Drinks from Bill Cosby, Flint Michigan tap water, Plane rides from Al Qaeda, Anything on the menu at Chipotle, Medical procedures from Mengele

    Great. Maybe HBO should cut the story short and present their Putin series

    Helen Miren looks very good still, but the trailer simply shows next to nothing at all. Where is the plan to revive the Byzantine Empire? Imminent fall of Brandemburg? Looks like just Helen Miren in nice clothes and a miniature (?) of some building in Petersburg.

    I wonder how they're going to portray her coup d'etat against her husband. Read a biography of her about a month ago, she was an effective monarch but murdering her spouse kind of paints her in a negative light.

    Yeah it was alright, if nothing else.
    The acting was great.
