The Great is a satirical, black comedy.I haven't seen a show that can reconstruct history with such sharpness and humour. A lot of us have loved Game of Thrones in its initial seasons (and for good reasons), but that is pretty much the only period drama that got any hype. Called an anti- historical, The Great's fictional account of the past is made even more powerful through its razor-sharp dialogues.
