I watched the first two episodes of The Romanoffs, Matt Weiner's new thing. Meh. The acting is good and some of it is interesting, but the main characters are, so far, mostly assholes and it's anthology so it doesn't provide any urgent reason to want to watch the next one since the stories aren't directly related. Besides, the thread that does connect them - that they're all descendants of the the Tsar's family - isn't very compelling, IMO. It's not entirely clear if the writers understand how awful the Romanovs were and how being descended from them isn't really something to be proud of.
If I were a Romanoff/Romanov, I would change my name.
