November Picks: The Movies and TV You Can't Miss20 of 28
"The Great" | Season 2 Premieres on Hulu on Friday, Nov. 19
Plot: After finally taking the Russian throne, Catherine must battle her court, her team, even her own mother in a bid to bring the enlightenment to Russia.
Our Take: If you love a good period drama, this Hulu series is injected with plenty of humor and antics à la The Favourite (also from creator Tony McNamara). Elle Fanning and Nicholas Hoult make quite the comedic pair as 18th-century rulers Catherine the Great and Peter III, and they’re returning for a second season which will see the couple quarrel over the future of Russia — with the new addition of Catherine’s mother, played by Gillian Anderson. — Hannah
