Review of The Great

The Great (2020–2023)
10/10
I could not find a single fault
2 January 2022
This fabulous lush historical satire has far and away the sharpest dialogue of any show I can remember seeing on any platform. It is delivered mostly rapid-fire as in the screwball comedy films of the 1930s. It also has the best players delivering the lines from top to bottom of the cast. And finally, it has the most adorable chemistry between a female and male lead that I have seen since Woody Harrelson and Juliette Lewis as Mickey and Mallory in "Natural Born Killers" (1994)... not to mention the most bizarre chemistry between a man and his mother since Norman Bates, and the most adorable chemistry between a woman and a frog... ever... really. Plus it has a menu that would make Wolfgang Puck seethe with jealousy. And just enough sex to keep adults dull enough to be looking for something else interested.
