Week 7 Discussion: TV as Art Answer
The TV show I’ll be talking about is a show that I’ve quite recently enjoyed watching. It’s called “The Great” and it’s currently streaming on Hulu. The Great is a comedy/drama that’s a take on Catherine the Great, Empress of All Russia’s story. It’s directed by Tony McNamara and stars Elle Fanning as Catherine and Nicolas Hoult as Emperor Peter III.
According to Martin (2018), television is the most widely available artistic medium in our culture”.
