About

You’ll likely enjoy this if you want a character-focused, era-hopping look at power and public life, with a tone some compare to The Crown; Not for you if you dislike frequent timeline shifts or uneven acting.

Pros: fresh angle on leadership; inspiring historical portraits; engaging across eras | Cons: uneven performances; distracting acting choices; time jumps feel abrupt
