Netflix fans can't get enough of the 'perfect' weekend TV series and are eagerly waiting for new episodes.
Fans of Netflix have been raving about the second season of a captivating historical drama, and they're already clamoring for more. The show in question is The Empress, a German series that follows the life of Empress Elisabeth of Austria. She was a powerful ruler who reigned for an impressive 44 years, from her marriage to Emperor Franz Joseph I in 1854 until her tragic assassination in 1898.

Devrim Lingnau stars as the title character, with Philip Froissant playing her husband. The first season of the show premiered on Netflix in September of 2022 and quickly became one of the most-watched series worldwide for two weeks. It also gained popularity as one of the top non-English shows of the year.

The story begins with a 16-year-old Sisi falling in love with the Emperor, who was originally meant to marry her older sister. As she navigates the complex world of court politics and deals with her husband's meddling family, viewers are taken on a journey filled with drama, love, and power struggles.

Now, after nearly two years of waiting, the highly-anticipated second season has finally been released. Fans are once again praising the show, with reviews calling it just as good, if not better, than the first season. According to Pavel on review site Rotten Tomatoes, the season starts off a bit slow but builds up to an intense and satisfying finale. Daryl also shared their thoughts, saying that they believe this season is even better than the first.

The Empress first aired in 2022 and has since gained an 88% rating on Rotten Tomatoes, with many fans calling it "captivating." One fan named Helen even declared that the first season was "absolutely superb" and the second season did not disappoint. On Reddit, another viewer shared that they love the show and consider it their "weekend comfort show," despite the costumes looking a bit too modern.

However, with only six episodes in the new season, many fans are left wishing for more. After such a long wait, some viewers express disappointment in the shortness of the season. As one fan explains, "S2 took really long until it was released, and it was just a handful of episodes that can be watched on a single afternoon."

In an interview with The Times, creator Katharina Eyssen compared Empress Elisabeth to the late Princess Diana, saying that they were both unconventional and had a way of moving people with their actions. Elisabeth, much like Diana, visited asylums, hospitals, and even influenced her husband to liberate the Hungarians from the rule of Vienna, making her very popular among the people.

The Empress is currently available for streaming on Netflix, and it seems that fans can't get enough of this intriguing historical drama.
