Catherine the Great on Netflix and Hulu

Catherine the Great book cover

Catherine the Great is in the air again. A four-part BBC series on HBO stars Helen Mirren, and more recently, a ten-part series on Hulu called The Great will have a second ten-part season. The Great claims to be only “occasionally true,” while the BBC series is the most accurate history of Catherine ever to reach the screen. How could two such different versions come out at the same time?
