Review of Sisi

I have watched the 1950's Sisi-trilogy many times and still do (guilty pleasure!).I know they are over-romanticized but Romy Schneider and Karl Heinz Böhm still look so gorgeous on the screen. Since I have read a lot about Sisi's true lifestory it always stuck in the back of my mind that she deserves a true telling in a film or a tv-series...I was very excited when I saw these series announced! I have watched this Sisi and am disappointed! The story-telling is poorly ; it jumps from important to unimportant bits with no connection. The actor who plays Franz Joseph is obviously chosen for his good looks but he doesn't connect to Sisi and one thing that is wellknown is Franz Joseph's love for his wife depite their many conflicts in marital life! The costumedesigner's way of working is a big mistery to me; most dresses are more suitable on a fashiondesigner's catwalk in 2021 and not accurate at all. Why would Sisi wear a glittering dress with bear shoulders at a breakfasttable ? No idea... I could go on but I won't... I had hoped for a real story told, but this Sisi series doesn't work for me. Advise: read about Sisi's real life and watch this and compare both...
