    This is a series of 4 episodes with a common theme, but they are non sequential, and have little in common aside from the descendants of the Russian Romanov family.

I recommend giving it a watch, especially the first episode.

      Amanda Peet and John Slattery really crushed it tonight, and whoever chose Mac DeMarco's This Old Dog has a natural gift for scoring.

    Official Trailer, for those interested. And wow, that is a seriously impressive cast list. Thanks for the heads up on this series @Adams. Added to my Watchlist. :)

      Yeah, the casting is ridiculous. Each “episode” feels like it may have done well in a film festival. This is a really cool development in the new streaming distribution model.
