The Empress, Netflix (spoilers- discussion of series 1)

[FlakeySalt]

Has anyone watched this?

German language period drama following the real life story of Elisabeth, Empress of Austria.

There’s one series so far, with six episodes. I loved it and would love to see a second and subsequent series. There’s definitely enough material, but no confirmation yet from Netflix.

I've just watched the first one and really enjoyed it. The main character is brilliant so far and I'm looking forward to seeing what happens.

I thought it was fabulous too. The 1st series ended a bit abruptly. The dubbing was a bit obvious in places but can't fault it apart from that.

I loved it and would like to see more. I found the dubbing slightly comical but that just added to its charm.

I watched it in original German with English subtitles, which is much the best way to watch foreign language films & TV.

I think there's quite a bit if bending of the truth (If you read biographies of Sisi), but she had quite an interesting life so there is potentially much more material to work with. Perhaps they would also write her as the more difficult (unlikable?) character she possibly was.

My sisters recommended it to me and when I got round to watching it I watched the first 5 episodes in one sitting and then the last one the following day. I enjoyed it.

Sadly, I'm at the age now where I occasionally have a brief snooze whilst watching television and have to rely on listening to what's happening!! I'm less happy to read subtitles than I used to be.

I loved it. I'm hoping for a second season.

I really enjoyed watching this. I’m hoping for a second season. I didn’t even realise the voices were duped to English until I read this thread!
