The Romanoffs - Season 1
In an exciting and powerful series that tells stories about a group of people who think they come from a Russian royal family. These people will probably face daily situations that put them in trouble because of their thoughts, lives and travel to many places. The ancestral home is located in Paris, where everyone believes this is the future of the family.

The Romanoffs nonetheless feels like an overcorrection, shackling itself with a handicap it can't quite overcome.
October 11, 2018
Almost no depth, urgency or characters who felt more than one or two dimensions deep.

Especially given [the episodes'] self-indulgent running times, it's particularly frustrating how shallow and even kind of predictable they are.

Weiner maintains his knack for getting terrific performances out of actors.

Like its characters, the show continuously puts its worst, least interesting foot forward, aristocratically expecting you'll stick around to see the next step.

It's possible and even highly likely given Weiner's track record that he'll have greater success in subsequent installments, but despite stellar acting, gorgeous visuals, and snappy dialogue, the first two episodes do little to inspire more than a shrug.

If these episodes find The Romanoffs putting its best foot forward, then it's best not to keep step.
October 11, 2018
Both lavish and languid, the first three installments of Amazon Prime's The Romanoffs are mostly bereft of the snap, pop and sizzle of Mad Men.
October 12, 2018
Banish thoughts of Mad Men and The Romanoffs is perfectly enjoyable on its own terms.

"The Violet Hour" is an elegant and surprising love story, while "The Royal We" is a sour disappointment. But the best news: A Matthew Weiner show is back on TV.
