for those commenting on historical accuracy of this show, it's an "alternate historical and satirical comedy-drama". The creator knows it is as historically accurate as Inglourious Basterds or less.
Teacher, have you seen Black City? Political section there terrorist Asia Yu dabang Amazon Programmer It's their house. Mongolian Cathedral kimsoo Mr. Park criminals Please tell me to send it back there. Please tell Teacher Kajil that he will join there if he works hard. Ottogi Photo Oyumgi Photopolis too. Kkuikkui also popped out They're scamming me.
Why would we do that? Most of us didn't come here to learn history, we came to be entertained which is the point of the show. It's not a documentary, it's a highly satirical period drama. This is like telling people who like Planet of the Apes to go watch a nature show and learn about actual primates when...none of them are there for that???
I suppose that it is woke to have an African minister of something. Why not go completely woke and have an all Asian cast with no one over 1 meter tall and everyone overweight? Peter could be a little woman from Tibet!
What version of history? This isn't a version of history, it's a highly satirical period drama that was stated to be EXACTLY that at the start of the fucking show. Only about 5% of it is actually accurate. You people just can't *read*.
Nothing compared to when Boris Yeltsin got shitfaced in washington DC and ran around half naked in the streets. Now that was a world leader who knew how to party.
Or that Time Boris Yeltsin was drunk as a skunk with President Bill Clinton who may have been high at the time also. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-QI2SKRk8SNs.html
He also had an incident where he was due to meet with the Irish Prime Minister at Shannon Airport in County Clare. While the PM was waiting, Yeltsin's jet just kept circling over the tarmac. When it finally landed, his personal doctor disembarked and, apologizingly, told the PM that he was feeling unwell and would have to delay the meeting. Afterwards, the term "Circling over Shannon" entered the Irish lexicon another term for being drunk and/or trying to sober up.
The vulgarity is beyond description. Do some people actually find this amusing? People in powdered wigs spewing out profanities? Is this supposed to be edgy? No. It's not edgy, nor is it any way "realistic", it is juvenile humour meant to appeal to the braindead.
@@robban5545 you lot always manage to appear the war doesnt exist, the king doesnt exist, the queen doesn't exist, the power dynamics are wrong, but OMG I HAD TO LOOK AT A BLACK PERSON
Didn't know sweden and russia had black nobles in the 18th century. Trying brainwash the new generation into thinking that black people were nobles in european.
Why is there racial diversity in a completely satirical comedy show? A show that says on the title csrd that it's only occasionally true? You poor, sensitive bigot. People like you make me hurl
@@Mark-op7hd Absolutely not. In your mind, yes, because you are educated with the new progressive culture. It is anti-historical because that was not real in the Russian royal court.
George Washington used to drink four glasses of Madeira wine every night and had a consistent ache in his mouth from rotten teeth he drank laudanum, a mixture of alcohol and opiates, every day to numb the pain. John Adams started every day by drinking hard cider. Thomas Jefferson grew poppies at his mansion in Monticello and regularly took opium for a number of chronic but unspecified aches and pains throughout his life. He was likely an opium addict. My guess is that around that time period, alcoholism and drug addiction were rampant. It would not surprise me at all if two monarchs met in person acting exactly like this either because they were incredibly drunk, high, or both.
Madeira was also a staple wine in the colonies and then the states (status change). Probably only went out of favor due to being controlled by England.
Great comment. It really makes you rethink the founding fathers when you realize the majority of them would've been high on revolutionary war heroin lmao
Fun fact: They (the Smithsonian maybe?) Have the original bar bill from the tavern that the founding fathers were at the night before they finalized and signed the Declaration of Independence Entire casks of beer wine and cider barrels of whiskey and christ knows what else. Imagine the night before you sign a ground breaking document and effectively declare war on the most powerful nation on the planet I would be so nervous and worries my stomach would be doing summersault Not these people these people got drunker than a frat house. Also Andrew Jackson had a fountain of either Wine or Whiskey at his inauguration on the front lawn of the white house and the crowd got so out of control drunk that Jackson had to escape out a window of the white house and start his duties elsewhere
@@anasurimborplantagenet5478He was a real standout for sure. He didn’t even have many scenes, but every one he was in was memorable. It also helps that he just has the look of a classic archetypal knight.
Fair enough that the show doesn't strive for the insane amount of historical accuracy, and it mainly focuses on the homourus aspects which it does well, they could have had the real king of Sweden instead of prince Hugo, and noted that Peter III was actually a close relative to Charles XII
The Swedish regents during the time of the series was Fredrik I and Adolf Fredrik, two excessively bland and unimportant monarchs with negligable political power. A more relevant figure in the show might have been some very belligrent Swedish high council member who wants to relive the days of conquest, which was a problem at the time and led to a peasant rebellion. Charles XII Was assasinated a decade before Catherine was born. Mentioning the relation between her husband and him might stil be worth doing since he almost took Moscow, so that would have been rather awkward.
@@HerrAndreasSkog Adolf Frederick was one of the kings of the time, and ate himself to death. So you could have had the exact same figure -- a party animal who'd get in long well enough with Peter III. The demand for Saint Petersburg could have just been replaced with the actual conflicts of the time -- the matter of tolls and trade in the Baltic sea, and naturally also Vyborg and it's sorrounding areas.
Because that’s what I want to listen to, amazing actors bumbling about like the Count from Sesame Street. Be so serious. 😂 If you want reality go watch Ekaterina. It’s in Russian.
Peter and Gustav (the counterpart for Hugo) were both of German origin, Catherine and Peter were raised in Germany. They’d have spoken the language of the court, French, and might have spoken German in private a bit. It is highly unlikely that they’d have spoken Russian here. Accent wise, just have the actors go with it, if historical accuracy isn’t that much of a concern.
@erikbengt1074 The show genres itself as "anti-history". It even says in the title of each episode something about being not accurate historically. Surprised to find a Russian so easily offended.
@erik bengt Different points of view I believe. There are not many russian tsars we hate as much as her. That`s why watching this show is so bloody schizophrenic for me. :)
@erik bengt Did she mess with Poland? :) She was behind all three partitions of Poland (1772, 1793, 1795) after which we vanished from maps of Europe for 123 years (untill end of WWI). If I`m to choose three historical figures I hate the most those would be Hitler, Stalin and Sophie von Anhalt-Zerbst a.k.a. Catherine II. And "honorable mention" would go to Charles X Gustav who ruined Poland perhaps more than both Hitler and Stalin combined. ;)
