"The Bloody Lady" tells the story of Darya Nikolayevna Saltykova, a Muscovite noblewoman who became known for her cruelty and the serial murders of her servants. She was granted amnesty by Catherine II (Ekaterina Alexeyeva Romanova) and lived as a recluse in a dungeon until she was 71 years old.
Starring Yulia Snigir as Darya Nikolayevna, "The Bloody Lady" is a super-production with beautiful photography and art direction. The story bares the hypocrisy and corruption of the Imperial Russian nobility at the times of Catherine the Great. With a confident and courageous directing, it contrasts with the empty and superficial productions from the West today. It's totally underrated, surely among the top 10 series I've seen on streaming.
