The conclusion of Maria Theresa's biography. It is clear that the whole film was supposed to be a two-part film. The story of the young Marie Antoinette turned out beyond expectations.

When I first watched the initial episode years ago, I never imagined that the project would evolve into a full trilogy with much of the original team staying on board, and that I'd be so impressed by the end of it all. While the episodic structure might be a bit of a hurdle, it works well enough for a TV movie format. If you're interested in the era of Maria Theresa, including her personal journey, I doubt you'll find a better on-screen portrayal. The third actress to play Marie did an outstanding job, but I was especially blown away by Vojtěch Kotek — he's truly become a remarkable actor, hats off to him. The ending was so powerful it gave me goosebumps, something I haven't experienced with Czech productions in a long time. Kudos to Czech Television for delivering a beautiful period drama, complete with stunning cinematography, gorgeous castle settings, impeccable costumes, and stellar performances. It's clear a lot of care went into this series, and it absolutely deserves to be recognized.
