1. Great
Hulu describes The Great as an anti-historical satirical dark comedy-drama series about the life and rise to power of Catherine the Great (Elle Fanning). A young Catherine moves to Russia to marry Emperor Peter III (Nicholas Hoult). But after their wedding, she focuses on her plan to murder her corrupt and dangerous husband. The Great, which focuses entirely on historical satire, is filled with situations that bring light to the darkness. With an essentially tragic story of a risky marriage made entertaining, the opportunity to play and remake historical events is fantastic.

It’s the story of Sophia (Britt Robertson), a misfit who discovers her passion for fashion and becomes an unconventional business woman as a result. However, as her firm grows, she must learn how to manage being her own boss. The most important thing is to keep it going because this show has a lot more depth than it originally let on. It starts off by presenting itself as another quirky girl comedy. However by the end of the first episode, it had dispelled that notion and, while sometimes fun, it was rewatchable.
