Super, très bien joué et instructif
1&2 Staffel waren geil
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...
