The Great
In 2020, Australian writer Tony McNamara brought the history and rumors surrounding Catherine the Great to the small screen with the comedy series “The Great.” While not claiming complete historical accuracy, the show explores Catherine’s life, including her relationships, alongside the broader royal court dynamics.
McNamara’s approach underscores the challenge of separating truth from fiction in Catherine’s legacy, shedding light on her remarkable accomplishments beyond the sensational headlines. “The Great” serves as a contemporary interpretation of Catherine’s story, capturing the essence of her reign and dispelling some of the myths that have persisted over the centuries.
