    Interesting Series - a great compilation of Short Stories

    In response to a few Reviews thinking there wasn't enough mention of the Romanov's - it was there in every story line, subtle and didn't hit one over the head. There is a tremendous amount of MYTH associated with the Romanov Family and inference to that fact was in each and every Episode.

    Its pretty hard to miss the great Acting and well written dialogue that pervaded throughout this entire Series.

    Thought provoking in a few Episodes, therefore, making it refreshing to watch a Series that feels it doesn't have to "spell it out" to the Viewer, "Dummy it down" so to speak.

    I enjoyed how the Story Lines all differed, so there's something of interest for everyone to discover.

    Terrible

    An hour of my life I can't get back. Don't waste your time on this episode.

    SVU Rehash

    This episode is too Law and Order. It's like the episode where the piano teacher molests the students.

    I thought I was watching the Romanoffs???!!

    This is the second episode that has done the same thing: failed completely to make a single mention of or connection to the Romanoffs. What on EARTH is going on???!!

    Excellent episode

    I have no idea what a couple reviewers here watched. This is simply a superb, thought-provoking episode. It is very well written and acted.
