89% of Google users liked this show, so Michal Levandowski's 1/10 rating is farcical. Yes, it is produced by Telewizja Polska (public Polish Television), but it's a historical drama with a plot that has nothing to do with the current political climate and PiS' influence.
The costuming and set-dressing are absolutely stunning and while not quite on the level of a BBC or Masterpiece production, for those of us looking for tv/movies delving into the story of the Polish monarchy, it is a wonderful slice of dramatic interpretation served with a side of sumptuous surroundings.
There are some subpar episodes and it is of course a dramatized depiction of history, but overall it makes for great casual viewing.
