Catherine the Great is the title character (Elle Fanning). Super 8) expecting a royal heir in season two of Hulu’s The GreatHer pregnancy, which was published November 19, is an important part of the story. They don’t pretend that the baby will be a mere creature that can become human someday, but they insist that the child is already human, a part of their family, and is already human.
They assumed the baby would come from an 18th century royal family and named it Paul. Catherine’s estranged husband Peter (Nicholas Hoult, Mad Max Fury Road, About a Boy() is a huge fan of the baby. He often speaks to his belly to express his love for him and to greet him. He tells Catherine to be careful so that she and the baby don’t get hurt, warning her in episode 1 “Heads It’s Me” that getting hurt would mean “killing you or Paul…can you imagine how upset I’d be?” He cries because he wants to be with her and their child throughout the pregnancy.
While they are negotiating the terms for peace, Paul insists on breakfast with him every day. Catherine accepts his request and the two begin to have breakfast together. In episode 4 “The Devil’s Lunch”, they have a moving conversation about the baby in which he is clearly discussed as a human being at breakfast.
Peter: Hello, Paul! Let’s see what the nursery looks like today.
Catherine: I am under surveillance.
Peter: Exciting.
Catherine: It’s sort of unimaginable. You will see a talking, walking being here.
Peter: Peter can also sing, dance, hunt, and have a good time fucking.
Catherine: Also reading, writing and philosophical.
Peter: He will do something extraordinary.
Catherine: Finally, we agree.
Peter: You must have something strange about it, like a living creature.
This show is generally a bizarre, uncomfortable one. It contains gratuitous sex, violence and crude language. The Great It makes fun of marriage and religion. This show could have been smarter and more entertaining, but the creators chose to entertain only the most common denominator.
It was therefore a pleasant surprise to listen to unborn children being treated with respect and love.
