1.38 The First Terror

In the aftermath of the fall of the monarchy, the ‘First Terror’ is unleashed. The new Paris Commune seeks to protect the revolution by relentlessly pursuing its enemies.

As Paris is consumed by conspiracies, the institutional and factional rivalries of the revolution escalate from feuds to all-out war. Exclusive Bonus Content (Episode Extras) 1.
