WKRLEM TV It's not the freaking history channel



For the last few nights we have been enjoying a stupid little show on HULU called "The Great."

It is a comedic retelling of the story of Catherine the Great. It is pretty amusing and a perfect trifle for these quarantine times.

One warning though. Being super woke they have black actors interspersed into the show as if they were not black. You just have to pretend that there would be brothers in Russia in 1762. It does get really jarring when they have a big black buck playing the Ambassador of Sweden. I mean they had lot of black guys back then.

Still and all it is stupid and silly and amusing.

Recommended.

Keep an eye out for Kahlua product placement.

I just like that it is just stupid and silly.

At one point they announce a choir and one of the characters go "It's our boys choir from Chernobyl." And the other guy goes "They are just glowing."

It's stupid shit like that I find amusing.
