Hulu's outrageous, quirky, anachronistic comedy might not seem like it has a ton in common with "Outlander," but we think there's a lot there that "Outlander" fans will love. Both shows have a strong, complicated woman at the center of the story, surrounded by political intrigues, high personal stakes, and frequent life-or-death decisions. Here, that woman is Catherine, a naive young princess who arrives in Russia as a bride only to discover that her new husband, Tsar Peter, is a self-absorbed, casually cruel narcissist. Frustrated by the way he rules, Catherine begins to think that maybe, just maybe, she could do a better job herself. With the help of a motley crew of allies, Catherine takes the risk to take power and become the legendary Catherine the Great.
