'Everyone has their breaking point' - The Great unveils high drama in season 3

'Everyone has their breaking point', reveals 'The Great', Season 3, as it storms into the hearts and screens of audiences in the UK, once again tossing history to the wind. Tony McNamara, also renowned for co-writing the daring period piece, 'The Favourite', returns with his saucy take on the life of Catherine the Great. If history could ever be a rollercoaster ride of dark comedy, forbidden romance, and edgy power plays, this show is it, as reported by The Guardian.

"Never A Dull Moment In Court"

Catherine the Great, played with exuberance and grit by Elle Fanning, and her comically unaware husband, the former emperor Peter, portrayed by Nicholas Hoult, continue their on-off marital wars. One would think that Peter accidentally killing Catherine's mother during an ill-advised intimate encounter (talk about falling out of love...literally) would be enough to ring the divorce bells. But hold your horses, folks! Love, or something akin to it, seems to keep these two together. Or maybe it's just the need to keep their kingdom from falling apart.

Aunt Elizabeth, possibly the most crafty character of them all, casually states, "Mother-fucking is usually it," referencing the controversial breaking point in the royal couple's relationship. It seems the lovebirds have found themselves visiting a 'marriage witch' as their eccentric choice of couple therapy. It's a far cry from our traditional methods, but then, this isn't your traditional period drama. 

"The Game of Thrones, The Great Style"

The deliciously absurd and lively plot keeps the viewers on their toes, as every character, save for Catherine, is a potential candidate for a shocking demise. It's a perpetual banquet of sex, death, and scandal, the ingredients for a great story, with Nicholas Hoult's Peter having the "temperament of a toddler who has been told they are not allowed to watch any more Peppa Pig." Not exactly the most inspiring image of a ruler, is it?

Surrounding the royal couple are numerous characters with personal agendas and private battles. Among them is Orlo, Catherine's consistently disappointed ally, who begrudgingly admits, "You are a failure and I was a fool to throw my heart and hopes away on you." Talk about a heartbreak, eh?

"Bawdy, Anarchic Fun – Huzzah!"

In essence, 'The Great' Season 3 continues to be a magnificent feast of chaos, drama, and historical absurdities. Sadly, its transition to a subscription channel might hinder its reach in the UK. But for those who relish the show's audacious wit, this season promises to be another thrilling rollercoaster ride. Buckle up!
