From Catherine the Great to Maleficent, WomenaHollywood has your weekend watch list covered.

‘s newest resource. W&H writers are often asked for recommendations, so each week they’ll spotlight the women-driven and women-made projects—movies, series, VOD releases and more—that they’re most excited about. After spending our lives seeing mostly men in power positions, it is a welcome relief to watch “Catherine the Great,” starring Helen Mirren. It’s particularly nice that the lavish costume drama is on HBO, which has not always done right by its women characters.

The first two episodes of the four-part miniseries trace the beginning of Catherine’s relationship with Grigory Potemkin , a military advisor who becomes her lover and confidante. I’m looking forward to seeing how their relationship develops over the final two episodes of the series. I’m also excited to keep watching a show that understands that women are just as complex as men, and just as capable of being vain and merciless.

TV Review: ‘Catherine the Great’ Starring Helen MirrenFor some, “Dame Helen Mirren playing the Catherine the Great” is all the convincing they’ll need to watch this new biographical limited series, which is perfectly understandable. … So, Catherine the not so Great. This idiot reviewer fails to mention how ludicrous it is to have a 74 year old actress play a 35 year old character. You’d think that would be worth a mention.
