Community Reviews

Viewers are captivated by 'The Empress', praising its modern take on historical events, the strong performances, and the stunning visuals. The series blends romance with political intrigue, portraying Empress Elisabeth's complex character and her tumultuous life at the Austrian court. While some appreciate the refreshing portrayal and depth, others miss the nostalgic charm of earlier adaptations, finding this version less whimsical.

👍 Empress Elisabeth's portrayal as a strong, empathetic figure resonates deeply.

👎 Historical purists may find the creative liberties disappointing.

Time period show about the Austrian monarchy. Good pace, good acting, some parts are hard to understand the plot, & dub is not bad. Looking forward to season 2 She was wearing sunglasses in one scene did they have sunglasses then?? Finished in one day...
