Has anybody else been watching "The Great" on Hulu?

I enjoyed its interesting take on the rise of Catherine the Great. It stars Elle Fanning as Catherine, but Nicholas Hoult steals every scene he's in as Peter the____? (You'll get it) You can tell he had a blast with the character. He really is fun to watch. I've liked him ever since I saw him as the zombie-with-a-heart in "Warm Bodies," the only zombie movie I've ever enjoyed, actually. The other cast members are excellent, too.

If you're not too particular about historical accuracy, you should check it out if you haven't already. At least it bills itself as *An occasionally true story.
