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

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.
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.

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

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

If these episodes find The Romanoffs putting its best foot forward, then it's best not to keep step.

"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.

The Romanoffs nonetheless feels like an overcorrection, shackling itself with a handicap it can't quite overcome.

Banish thoughts of Mad Men and The Romanoffs is perfectly enjoyable on its own terms.
October 11, 2018
Almost no depth, urgency or characters who felt more than one or two dimensions deep.
