For all the comments about historical "accuracy", Hulu (series creator) literally describes the show as "anti-historical"...in the opener for the show it says "occasionally a true story", haha.
haha yeah! right of the bat ep1 s1 it was already entirely obvious this was not trying to be accurate in any way. It's been two full seasons and I still see comments about it, so weird.
I just noticed that Peter holding the baby in this scene mirrors Cathryn revealing her pregnancy to Peter in the season 1 finale so he didn’t kill her. He’s doing the same because now the roles have reversed
Back then it didn't count but I think she got arrested because technically she buried her mom's body which technically betrayed Catherine think about it she wanted them all dead anyway she didn't say anything until she saw her getting chubby with Peter and she hates Peter Muriel is no angel
Did anyone else get the reference throughout season 2 that the princess from Spain who gave Peter the hand job is Catherine’s sister? Catherines mother said one of her sisters married the king of Spain.
@@flameandfire1589 anyway,you really weren't kidding when you said desperately...i checked and you wrote the same comment under like,10 other comments give or take😂 don't know why it seems like such a huge deal but ok
I could be wrong, but the noise at 5:10 may have been Arkady uncocking the hammer. Since we didn't hear fire crackling afterwards and it wouldn't be a good idea to leave a cocked gun alone, that might've been the sound.
Just now realising that they never use contractions when they talk, which is absolutely singing to the little history nerd inside me, since they didn't exist yet, so it makes sense 😊😊
True, but hey, at least he was good at giving her oral. So at least she got that out of it. Lol I mean she also got her heartbroken. So they were so cons. 😬😂
@@flipingboredcritic she overthrew her and he can't even beheade her lover that he Gifted to her... If she loved him so much she would chose him over Russia .. every choices have their consequences
They were invented on the russian mountains and were brought by catherine the great into her gardens, that part was actually historically accurate haha
The entire idea of this show is to take a story and tell it without need for adherence to historical accuracy, there's a literal disclaimer at the start of every show
That character is so weak and he keeps getting away with it. No ability to control his urges, but absurdly naive movie-charme tries to make him seem like he has redeemable qualities.
"Man has always had a need for speed: legs to outrun bears, horses to overtake enemies, cars to cross continents, meth to ... oh, different thing. But we've been constructing ways to enjoy speed, too, since at least the 1400s. That's when we find one of the early incarnations of man's more aimless speed freakery - the roller coaster. Patrons on Russia's "ice slides" would climb a 70-foot timber tower, sit on a sled, and then whooooosh down a 600-foot ice ramp to the base of a second tower. There they'd repeat the thrill, slipping down a parallel slide back to the start. Popular among the gentry, these rides were a winter pursuit until speed-demon Catherine the Great put the rollers on the coaster, adding wheels and grooved tracks to make a summer version at her palace in 1784. Then the French took the coaster baton and ran with it: In 1817, Belleville Mountain in Paris became the first slide to lock cars onto tracks by their wheel axles. And the city's Aerial Walks, which had two curving tracks that met at the base of the ride, introduced a system for pulling the cars back up for "rerides." The French also developed the first successful loop in 1846 - the 13-footer was tested using sandbags, monkeys, and one intrepid worker, whose reaction was recorded in the Journal du Havre. It will ring familiar to any thrill-seeker: He "experienced such a delicious feeling that he wanted to try again."
The show historically inaccurate, that's the entire premise but this parts kinda true. There were earlier versions then the official first roller coaster on record.
Which was built in 1817, The first modern roller coaster, the Promenades Aériennes, opened in Parc Beaujon in Paris on July 8, 1817. It featured wheeled cars securely locked to the track, guide rails to keep them on course, and higher speeds.
I’m not a native English speaker, but the word “rollercoaster” didn’t exist back then, right? Or did they name the rollercoaster we know today after an already existing word? Not asking because I want to bash the show, but because I’m curious about the English language
Kinda. Not ours like today but an old version. Much harder to work and much slower. Made of wood. It's said it can date back to the 1600s. Although it was used for other things as well as for fun. The first ever Rollercoaster that was ever in service to the public for fun dates back to the to early 1800s. It resided in Paris and cost a nickel to ride. Although it's only the first RECORDED public Rollercoaster so who knows. And the rich could've had their own built prior. The one in Paris opened 1817 and Catherine's reign ended in 1796. So not too far away. The first American one was patented in 1884. So it could have been accurate!
@@carmencollor1224 i haven't watch what Dakota has done recently... But when she was a kid she was amazing!! Just look a movies like man on fire or hound dog
@@joekrebs964 Apologies, I should have clarified - there were black nobles during this time period in Britain but they never rose to the height of the royal family, I am not too sure about Russia tho.
@@joekrebs964 en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abram_Petrovich_Gannibal This guy! He was a slave that was sold to Peter the Great and later rose to a nobleman and got an education and became an engineer. So nope, not woke. This one the show got right.
It is a very silly show full of crass cartoon characters. Sprinkled with moments of drama and realness. The f word is used liberally and it works for the show when you watch the whole thing. It is unlike any show I have ever seen. Personally, I think this show is fantastic. It could be described as a super dark sitcom with brief moments of high drama.
What glorious times to choose Russian history as a platform to portray the story of this magnificent murdering couple while Russia itself continues to wage war in Ukraine. It is so weird how people are fascinated with that, not even to mention that kathrine the great(purposely typed it this way) took part in the destruction of Ukraine herself.
