From elegant ball gowns and elaborate hairstyles to lavish palaces, the sense of grandeur is visually appealing. Go to Full Review Joel Keller Decider 12/06/2024
There should still be enough going on in Season 2 of The Empress to keep viewers’ interest, but the show definitely feels like there’s been a tonal change in the new season. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

Edward L @Glyndower Sep 6 Essentially a remake of the 1950s 'Sissi' movies despite the historical anomalies this builds well upon Season 1 and in Sophie, the Dowager Archduchess, has a character almost as unpleasant as Abby Bianchi from 'Family Law'! See more Ashley N @technorainbows 03/13/2025 I enjoyed the 2nd season but found it flowed less well than Season 1, and some elements of it I found quite infuriating. But still, I am looking forward to Season 3! See more Lyza D @RT67697694 01/20/2025 Love the season 2, the couple last episodes made me cry so much. Wish there is season 3 soon. See more Kirsten L @RT47035818 01/01/2025 So enjoyable to sink into the varied & beautiful layers of this show. Great actors, engaging storyline and leaves you wanting to see what happens next. See more Eva B @RT48515266 12/08/2024 Great acting and storyline was good. Nevertheless, the feeling between the couple was missing for me this season. See more Heidi S @RT64077362 12/05/2024 Oh again! The love, the pain, the drama, the intensity! Just had to watch all episodes at once, because I just couldn't stop. I want more please! Horry up with the season 3! See more Read all reviews
