    Yeah, pretty solid show. It's a bit lib, but they don't show enlightenment ideas as a grand solution and present the life of serfs as absolutely awful and at the whim of tyrants.

    Definitely better than most other period dramas due to it's lax handling of history and focus on satire. Got some Armando Iannucci vibes from it.
