Australian playwright and filmmaker Tony McNamara’s historical satire The Great returned last month to Hulu and Amazon Prime for its third season. Set against the opulent and extravagant backdrop of 18th-century Russia, this unique blend of comedy and drama resumes the turbulent narrative of Catherine the Great’s ascension to power. With Elle Fanning brilliantly portraying the young empress, the show continues to balance wit and ruthlessness along Catherine’s journey as she navigates the challenges of ruling in a male-dominated court.
