Empire of the Tsars: Romanov Russia with Lucy Worsley

This show is basically an indictment of the Romanov dynasty. The last Tsar was loved by his people but you wouldn't know that from the "information" this documentary presents. There was a steady, stealth group in Russia that vowed to bring down the monarchy long before it ended. This group is responsible for the DEATHS of tens of millions of Russian Christians, peasants and aristocracy. They stole the wealth from Russia and killed with glee. This group is still in power around the world. Don't be fooled by false narratives on tv and even in books. They hide the truth.

Definitely not for scholars but for those with an armchair interest in this history and those seeking to visit Russia. For example, I was surprised the Potemkin Mutiny during the 1905 uprising was not mentioned.

I, too, disagree with the criticism of the host Lucy Worsley. Maybe her red dresses were to make her stand out in the scenes. Her commentary on the cartoon of Catherine was quite a giggle. She's cute in my opinion.

OMG, it's the Romanovs and they made it boring. It's honestly as dull and boring as an art history documentary. When it really should be chaotic and dynamic and and riveting.

Years back, in the early '00s, the History Channel did a "Russia Land of the Tsars" documentary that isn't exactly as focused, but is still a LOT more... entertaining.

There is no reason why you should sit through a documentary about the Tsars and have it put you to sleep.

The execution was horrible.

The way Romanov was pronounced bothered me throughout the 'series'. She kept saying /Románov/ instead of /Rómanov/.

To me this "documentary" was more biased, rather than a documentary. On top why would Lucy make faces as if she's considering Russians a lower class nation, as is the typical mindset in Western World?
