Sisi - Season 1

In the first season, the creators offered a slightly different perspective on the notoriously known story. 1854 - marriage to Franz Joseph I, in the years 1855, 1856, and 1858, the birth of the first three children, Sophie Frederica, Gisela, and Rudolf. But to make it even more thrilling, the revelation of the crown prince's gender was left as a cliffhanger. Over almost 200 years, so many ideas on how to dramatically portray these years emerged, that it really couldn't be expected for this series to bring anything significantly new. The new viewer experience is only in the new style, in the new cast, and in the presentation of the empress's biography to the new generation. The modern approach also enjoys youthful rulers who first have to come to terms with their sexuality before being able to experience the joys and sorrows of motherhood. People today have much greater freedom in these questions, and perhaps that's why they so willingly travel back to the past from the safety of their present. (28.11.2023)
