Helen Mirren attends the Los Angeles Premiere of the new HBO Limited Series "Catherine The Great" at the Billy Wilder Theater at the Hammer Museum on Oct. 17, 2019, in Los Angeles. (CNN) - The chance to see Helen Mirren play another queen (OK, empress) is incentive enough to watch "Catherine the Great," a four-part British-American miniseries airing stateside on HBO. When not jockeying for power, "Catherine" indulges in a whole lot of sex, only some of which could charitably be called romance. Couple that with Mirren's presence, and "Catherine the Great" pretty well lives up to its name. "Catherine the Great" premieres Oct. 21 at 10 p.m. on HBO.
