The Last Czars on Nextflix

I have just finished watching Lucy Worsley's programmes on the Romanovs on BBC4 Now available on iPlayer for those that don't have Netflix

It’s on my to watch list. Summer is always difficult but long winter evenings allow me to catch up on a lot of stuff. I really need to start a list or I forget some stuff.

I will put this in my little notebook of things to watch. Thank you.

Oh thank you for this info! I love history and am much more interested in the past than the present. The Romanovs never cease to fascinate, especially all the film and photos of Nicholas and his family. What happened to them doesn't bear thinking about! Same with Louis XV1th!! I know they were everything everyone says, but their fate was truly terrible!

Binged this yesterday - absolutely loved it! Good format using drama undercut with old footage and historians giving their insights.. Learnt some new stuff which is always welcome! ?

Intercut!! Poxy predictive nonsense....

I watched this on Netflix and found it totally compelling.
I never knew how big a part Rasputin had played in the Czar's family. It's fascinating.

henetha It was great wasn't it i loved every minute of it.

Just finished it after binging on all six in one go with a couple of toilet breaks.

Read a lot about Anastasia over the years to the point where I almost wanted Ana Andersen to be her - was quite disappointed when Prince Philip agreed to give DNA sample and she was found to have no connection to the Romanovs.

Fascinating period of history though - wish I could’ve watched stuff like that at school, I’m sure I’d have done a lot better!

I watched this over the weekend and found it very interesting. I too liked the mix of historian input, old footage and dramatised events.

If anybody can recommend any more history based series on Netflix or Amazon Prime I would be grateful.
