Many TV shows can serve as background noise. These can be familiar comforts, like rewatching that Gilmore Girls episode for the third time while you’re cooking dinner or popping in to visit your Friends after a particularly long workday—and there’s absolutely nothing wrong with that. There are certain shows in this age of peak TV, however, that demand every ounce of your attention, with sets and production design that often tell as much of the story as the dialogue.

The Great
Hulu’s newest series, The Great—set to debut on May 15—is a self-proclaimed “anti-historical” telling of the rise of Catherine the Great in 18th-century Russia. But the political turmoil is no match for the over-the-top design of the czar’s palace.
