An enjoyable experience and its retelling of early 20th century events are no more bizarre than the actual events themselves..Fienes is excellent and the Rasputin story was fascinating with is retelling of the fabled plot to kill him..
I had feared that it would be ridiculously pro empire etc and glorifying war but it moved slightly away from that with sly digs against kitchner and the British empire..
I had fun watching it and it's not to be taken too seriously..
