What Are the Critics Saying About The Last Czars?
The Last Czars has an official critics rating of 56% and an average audience score of 59% on Rotten Tomatoes.
Joel Keller from Decider writes, “The hybrid format of The Last Czars takes some getting used to, but the performances are good enough to make you forget about some of this show’s cheesier aspects and get into how Nicholas II makes the mistakes that lead to his banishment.”
Pajiba’s Dustin Rowles says, “It’s basically a mediocre History Channel show. Tonally, it’s just bizarre, and after watching a series like Chernobyl, The Last Czars is basically like following a dinner at a James Beard Award-winning restaurant with a trip to Taco Bell.”
