The Romanoffs (Matthew Weiner Amazon Series)

[usmc0331horn 967]

I thought at first this was a historical series about the Russian family but it's an anthology set in the present day following different descendants in various cities. Premieres October 2nd. The cast looks terrific.

Looks interesting

first two eps are out on amazon.  future episodes will drop every friday on an 8 episode season.

early reviews are mixed.

mad men took a while to find its awesomeness, so i wouldn't be surprised if this starts a little slow.

Will definitely be checking this out.

I enjoyed the first two episodes, but I see why the reviews are mixed.   The episodes are like standalone movies and, so far, seem pretty independent of one another.  I won't spoil anything, but there is a weird unevenness between the storylines and the endings. 

[RPM 26373]

I really liked it. Interested in seeing the rest of the family. Too bad it can't be binged.

Thought the first episode was great.  Are all episodes around an hour and a half long?

Ep 3 was interesting. Christina Hendricks leads.

[Mojo Hand 4580]

Love her, but that was weird.

Steaming pile of shit. Out

[Mojo Hand 4580]

Seriously, this show is so fucking weird, and not in a good way.   Every episode is like half incomplete character study and half M. Knight Shyamalan movie.    I don't hate it, but the "shocking twist" in every episode is really out of place.   I don't care about any of the characters aside from the hotness factor of some of the actresses.   I don't think it's that I'm just not getting it; seems to me like a big miss from the Mad Men guy.
