TV Review – The Great Season 2

by

Martin Carr reviews The Great season 2… There is something obscenely opulent about this Hulu original, which makes it almost irresistible. On the face of it, a comedy about Russian revolutions, over indulgent royalty and dialogue defined by a deluge of four-letter words should never see daylight.

DVD Review – The Great: Season One

by

Martin Carr reviews The Great: Season One… There is a bawdy quality to The Great which makes it feel appropriately deviant without getting too dark.
