I just finished the show. This is such a good fucking show!
Even though i am HEARTBROKEN, through Elisabeth, Grigor and Catherine the show really gave the room to sort of process it and by giving that last kick, really got us out of the pain and invested in how she will keep her reign. Truly smart writing. Like with just 10 episodes, they wrote a love story, a heartbreak and a riveting political play, like only The Great can.
I am still definitely broken about Peter's death. I don't know how the show will do whole seasons without him, and very very selfishly wish they don't make another love for Catherine.
When Elisabeth said basically fuck off to Peter the Great, i was in pain, wishing Peter had also said the same. And elisabeths fate of losing two children to water, my god.
Paul will never know how much Peter loved him. Catherine always humming Their Song. Wearing his clothes. Grigor, the true himbo. So Torn by grief he thinks a box is a good place to keep a child. Immersing himself in bath fully clothed? He is i think the most affected because i don't he truly knows how to live without Peter. Also what's up with Marial? I understand but also dude!!!
Charit Wakefield is so good. Her actual pain in losing Peter, sewn with George's intrinsic manipulation, she is good. Amazing. So is Phoebe Fox as Marial and every single person in this cast because otherwise the insanity of this show could never deliver the emotional impact.
I always liked Nicholas Hoult, but after this show i am completely and Fully obsessed with him. I only hope he'll be back as a ghost next season. (But i like that they didn't bring him back this season, it would've hurt too much). Because as you said his and elles chemistry needs to shine more.
Okay as of now, this is all i have for thoughts. Might have more once I start giffing, but until then you are released from the grips of my 1k words long asks.
i agree with you wholeheartedly!! despite the great loss (lol), the show has proven its ability to still excel w/o peter. the last episode is riveting and freeing. it shows precisely why peter needs to be gone for catherine to be great (of course the show will be great focusing on catherine and peter's love story but the great is never about that) people who are mad that they get rid of peter or say that catherine x peter is the whole point of the show don't understand the show at all. i feel like all of the characters (not just catherine) have a chance to develop in a new direction due to peter's death and that gives the show a fresh air/start🫶 and please do keep sending me your thoughts haha <3
